Maybe someone will correct me, but it looks to me like there is no
provision in the code for delimiting these entities.
In the function org-html-do-expand in org-exp.el, if you change the
line 3788 (in org 6.06b):
(while (setq start (string-match \\([a-zA-Z]+\\) s start))
to
(while (setq start (string-match \\([a-zA-Z]+\\)\\(\\{\\}\\)? s start))
then you can use an empty pair of braces {} to end the entities (as
in LaTeX macros). With that change, then \Aacute{}stor will produce
Aacute;stor. I haven't tested this much, so I don't know if it has
unwanted side effects elsewhere.
I would also echo Sebastian's suggestion that you may be better off
just directly entering the non-ascii character in the .org file. This
usually works fine for export to HTML and means taht your org files
are much more readable. You can either use your operating system's way
of entering special characters (which in most cases is pretty clunky)
or emacs' own input methods (which are very nice). You can turn one of
these on with C-u C-\ - hit TAB to get a list to choose from. There
are lots of language-specific ones, and also general ones like tex and
sgml. For instance, with the sgml input method, you type Aacute; to
get Á, or with the spanish-prefix input method you would type 'A

[Orgmode] HTML export: how to delimit escaped HTML entity?
This is probably bonehead simple, but so far that bone seems to be broken here.
The entities in org-html-entities work fine for me as long as followed by a
space (or another \-escaped entity), but I can't seem to discover how
they're delimited within a word.
E.g.
Ren\eacute produces Reneacute;
which is just fine; but I've failed to find a way to get the correct
Aacute;stor
out of any combination of \Aacute and stor.
\Aacutestor - \Aacutestor
\Aacute stor (naturally) - Aacute; stor
and nothing I've tried by way of analogy with shells (e.g. \{Aacute}stor)
or other syntax (\Aacute\stor? \Aacute$stor? etc.) has produced anything
but the same string in the generated code.
I'm sure my ignorance of {insert bonehead lacuna here} is showing, but does
anyone know how to enter poor old Sr Piazzolla's given name into an org file
so that it will export?
Thanks -- and repeated continual thanks to Carsten and all other generous
contributors.

Re: [Orgmode] HTML export: how to delimit escaped HTML entity?
What's in your XHTML-Head section?
How does your Content-Type line look? That is,
meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=utf-8/
Change the 'utf-8' to what ever encoding your exported HTML files have.
You can detect the real encoding of the files, by visiting souch an
exported HTML file with emacs.
In the modeline on the left, you can see some indicators, the second
of which shows if the encoding is multibyte ('U') or singlebyte ('1').
Click it to see a full description of the files encoding.

Some more on this:
The world is big. Consider to change your System to use UTF-8
everywhere.
This is what I do here. Every file (and every filename) is UTF-8
on my system and thus things like
ö ß á Á € ø ·
folder
│
├ file
└ another_file
are always displayed correct. So is the XHTML export of my Org-files.
The characters are not changed to their html entities at all.
Switch to UTF-8 and get rid of all your local problems :-)
The easiest way to do this is just to install a modern GNU/Linux
distribution (use Debian). Just 1 hour and your done, once for all.
