Either you are reporting them wrong, or you have other strange things
in your configuration. Why would lynx say something about "xhtml"?
Perhaps you should try with a lynx.cfg completely empty except for the
RULE.

Which first line, the one with "#! /bin/sh" ?
If there is no sh in /bin (which would be extremely strange), modify
it to point to a shell, don't delete it.

Yes, what does -trace say?
Run the trst2.sh by hand, as follows:
- set an environment variable QUERY_STRING to contain the http URL
you want to look at. That should be `setenv QUERY_STRING http://...'
for you.
- Run it.
- You should see the HTML source, fixed up by the sed in the script,
on the screen.
(- remove QUERY_STRING variable. `unsetenv QUERY_STRING'.)
Cut out all the sed stuff from the script to see whether the basic
mechanism works. IOW make the script just contain the 2 lines
#! /bin/sh
lynx -mime_header "$QUERY_STRING"
