As far as I know, there aren't any problems in this version as far as
generating these variables.  The htsearch/Display.cc code in 3.2.0b4
hasn't been changed since July of last year, and I don't see anything
in the code that would prevent it from setting these two variables.
I'd first try to rule out any other possible problems, e.g. that htsearch
is indeed loading the header.html file that you're editing, and not a
different one, that there isn't some junk characters being inserted into
the $(var) constructs, that an HTML editor isn't SGML-encoding the "$",
and things of that sort.

If you had things working with an earlier 3.2.0b4 snapshot, make sure
you configured the same paths into this one.  If all other things are
equal, what was the last working snapshot?

The "&" causes htsearch to SGML encode certain characters contained in
the variable (&, <, >, ", and in 3.2, ISO-8859-1 accented letters).
The "%" after the "$" causes hex encoding, and "=" causes hex decoding.
This is explained (briefly) in http://www.htdig.org/hts_templates.html
