Sorry to say that I could not replicate your problem. I have current
TeXLive installation, biblatex.sty is 1.1a, biblatex.4ht is the one
which Kristian mentioned in his mail. The test document which Kristian
provided runs without any problems.

I think, it is more of your system specific problem and not that of
TeX4ht or its supporting packages.

It might be helpful if you can send me off the list screenshots of
your error window when the compilation gets choked and you need to
press the enter key. That might help a lot to debug your problem.
Please send me your test file and log too.

TeX4ht depends on all the popular packages used in the LaTeX world. As
you are aware, all the packages get updated now and then. Since most
users are connected to internet and updating their TeX installation is
very easy now, TeX4ht has to cope up with the updated packages and
therefore, the updates of TeX4ht's component packages are also
released in tandem with updates of mainstream LaTeX packages. Strictly
speaking, TeX4ht is always in a state of flux, but that is a necessary
evil.

If you have a difficult task give it to a lazy man, he
will find an easier way to do it.
