Mark,

I made the following observations which I suspect are related to the
problem, but I don't have the expertise to fully understand them.

The log file sample2.log contains the suspicious comments
 
    (textcomp)  Font families with sub-encoding setting implement 
    (textcomp)  only a restricted character set as indicated. 
    (textcomp)  Family '?' is the default used for unknown fonts. 
    (textcomp)  See the documentation for details. 
    Package textcomp Info: Setting ? sub-encoding to TS1/1 on input line 71. 
 
The script    

   dvips -E -Ppdf -mode ibmvga -D 110 -f sample2.idv -pp 1  > zzsample2.ps
   convert -trim +repage -density 110x110 -transparent '#FFFFFF' zzsample2.ps sample20x.png 

already gives me the broken picture at zzsample2.ps.  However,

   dvips -E -mode ibmvga -D 110 -f sample2.idv -pp 1  > zzsample2.ps

offers a seemingly proper postscript file.  My guess the issue is
related somehow to the availability of fonts to dvips.  

As far as tex4ht is concerned, try to figure out a variant of the script

   dvips -E -Ppdf -mode ibmvga -D 110 -f sample2.idv -pp 1  > zzsample2.ps
   convert -trim +repage -density 110x110 -transparent '#FFFFFF' zzsample2.ps sample20x.png 

that works fine at your machine and adjust accordingly the
corresponding script in tex4ht.env.
