I take it that this works OK without tex4ht?
Can you figure out just which control sequence is
unrecognized? I did a search in biblatex.4ht for
some of the ones mentioned in the error messages
and they seem to be there. Bit I'm far from being an expert
here.

Yes, it does.

Unfortunately not. I can point at some code from biblatex.4ht which
seems to be involved in the error but nothing more.
