I do not remember tex4ht output being as bad. On the contrary I tended
to prefer the tex4ht output to latex2html, although it really depended
on the case. I get the same. I tried to process your example with
htlatex and it is better. One advantage of tex4ht is that, with httexi,
it could handle @math with mixed texinfo and TeX. There may be
something broken for tex4ht with plain TeX.

tex4ht used to give a result that may be less polished but also using
less images, and was, in my opinion, ok.
