This is incorrect LaTeX.
To get footnotes in titles you use \thanks as part of the title:
\title{Activity Cycles in Lower Main Sequence
and Post Main Sequence Stars: The HK Project\thanks{%
Based on observations from
Mount Wilson Observatory, operated by the Mount Wilson Institute
under an agreement with the Carnegie Institution of Washington.
}}
This works in LaTeX2HTML too.

The bad </SUP> tag problem is indeed symptomatic of an error.
It is related to the variable:
$WORDS_IN_NAVIGATION_PANEL_TITLES

I've fixed the error now, as you can see from:

When these fixes are available, you'll be able to set
$WORDS_IN_NAVIGATION_PANEL_TITLES = -1;
to get everything. (any negative number will do).

It's done.
BTW, are you aware of the -no_footnode switch.
This puts footnotes at the bottom of the page on which they occur,
rather than on a separate page. This is often nicer.
Anything else ?
Oh yes --- those funny European-style units.
Try this Perl definition:
sub do_cmd_fm{local($_) = @_; s/^(\d+)//; join('', '.' ,$1, 'm', $_)}
You can see which piece is what; so for \finch you can have:
sub do_cmd_finch{local($_) = @_; s/^(\d+)//; join('', '.' ,$1, '"', $_)}
If you want a space after the unit, then its easy to see where to add it.
All the best,
Ross
