My guess is that it is a bug, as in HTML it seems to me that there
should only be forward slashes.

Note that the tests in other are not run with 'make check', as they require
source-highlight (right now, there should be other prerequisites) to be
installed.  They are only run with make other-checks or make
all-checks.

According to the diff below, I am not sure that the only issue is with
non-ASCII characters, it seems that there are other issues too.  I would
probably need more output to check what else is going on, and maybe
first a check that you have source-highlight installed.  Checking that
HTML output with source highlighting work on Windows is not very
important, though, in my opinion.

Probably.  If you run 'make check' they will be skipped even if you have
tex4ht or latex2html.

Depends.  test_scripts contains (generated) test scripts used when tests
are run through make.  input contain some input files.  many_input_files
contains tests that are not in the framework of the list-of-tests files,
it would be interesting if you could run those tests too, with
 make check
in this directory, and maybe make all-checks although it is much less
important to have make all-checks succeed, it in general depends on
external programs such as latex2html and tex4ht, and on specific
versions of those programs.
