Glad to hear that the fix helped you.

The same kind of error, I made a quick fix for the same.

I don't think so. MikTeX developers should have generated all the  
packages afresh from the literate sources provided by Eitan, which

I have copied a bug fixed version to:

   http://tug.org/~cvr/biblatex.4ht

which you may try. Looking forward to your feedback.
