Just for the record: after much research I found out that apparently

,-----------------------------------------------------
| "emacsclient compresses double and tripple slashes."
`-----------------------------------------------------

so its no wonder that calling emacs from another program to do some
html-exporting results in something like this

,-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| <div id="outline-container-sec-1" class="outline-2">
| <h2 id="sec-1"><span class="section-number-2">1</span> NEXT
| A1&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;<span class="tag"><span
| class="home">home</span>&#xa0;<span class="iorg">iorg</span></span></h2>
| <div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
| <p>
| B1
| </p>
| </div>
|
| <div id="outline-container-sec-1-1" class="outline-3">
| <h3 id="sec-1-1"><span class="section-number-3">1.1</span> <span
| class="todo TODO">TODO</span> B1&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;<span
| class="tag"><span class="ARCHIVED">ARCHIVED</span></span></h3>
| <div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
| <p>
| Text B1
| </p>
| </div>
| </div>
`-------------------------------------------------------------------------

when emacs is called standalone

#+begin_src sh
  $ emacs -Q -e ...
#+end_src

and something like this

,----------------------------------------------------------------------
| "\n<div id=\"outline-container-sec-1\" class=\"outline-2\">\n<h2
| id=\"sec-1\"><span class=\"section-number-2\">1</span> NEXT
| A1&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;<span class=\"tag\"><span
| class=\"home\">home</span>&#xa0;<span
| class=\"iorg\">iorg</span></span></h2>\n<div class=\"outline-text-2\"
| id=\"text-1\">\n<p>\nB1\n</p>\n</div>\n\n<div
| id=\"outline-container-sec-1-1\" class=\"outline-3\">\n<h3
| id=\"sec-1-1\"><span class=\"section-number-3\">1.1</span> <span
| class=\"todo TODO\">TODO</span> B1&#xa0;&#xa0;&#xa0;<span
| class=\"tag\"><span
| class=\"ARCHIVED\">ARCHIVED</span></span></h3>\n<div
| class=\"outline-text-3\" id=\"text-1-1\">\n<p>\nText
| B1\n</p>\n</div>\n</div>
`----------------------------------------------------------------------

when exactly the same html-exporting functionality is called via

#+begin_src sh
   $ emacsclient -e ...
#+end_src

I would call that at least strange behaviour, if not a bug.
