I don't know much about the internals of latex2html.  The man page
suggests that it will actually transform known scripts on the fly to
Unicode.  In any case, if it's not working on KOI-8 (which is famously
hard to use in internationalized programs) but does work on other
scripts, there's presumably a coding problem.

What Mule does is to translate KOI-8 to ISO-8859-5, and then translate
that to Mule coding.  Is there any chance you could translate to
ISO-8859-5 (plus some kind of special code for any missing character),
and try latex2html pretending that it's ISO-8859-1?
