I guess this is the result of older TeX4ht settings in combo with the
latest Latin Modern distribution (which fixesa few bugs but seems to
trigger some new ones as well).
I will be happy to update my TeX4ht if I know exactly what to do. Which
I currently do not and I also have no small reproducable problem set.
