I've just tried the ESR's pic.ms document using groff -p -e -t -ms pic.ms > 
pic.html
on the latest cvs source and true enough the following pictures are
incorrectly generated:

     Figure 53, Figure 54 and Figure 102

Interestingly all diagrams contain splines.. I'll check the spline limit
code.

In general pic macros, eqn macros are likely to break -Thtml.

In part these issues (and the need for a cleaner separation between
images and html text) caused a redesign/re-implementation of
the html device driver, now underway, but still some way off.

Thanks for the feedback,

Gaius
