Can you try something please?
  privoxy/doc/source/ldp.dsl.in
has a "print" and a "html" section.  Can you see what happens if you change
  06_8bit_manual.patch
to have the first preserve-sdata bit in the print section be false:
(declare-characteristic preserve-sdata?
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Characteristic::preserve-sdata?"
  #f)

and the second preserve-sdata bit in the html section be true:
(declare-characteristic preserve-sdata?
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Characteristic::preserve-sdata?"
  #t)

At least for me, that doesn't translate the "&code;" strings. eg:
diff --git a/doc/webserver/developer-manual/index.html
b/doc/webserver/developer-manual/index.html
index 81fd85ad..f32845d3 100644

I also changed p-authors.sgml to be straight 7bit ascii - eg:
$ grep '&aacute' *sgml
p-authors.sgml: Gábor Lipták

After rebuilding everything (and using your neat find command :)
Lee at i3668 /source/privoxy/privoxy/doc
$ find . -name \*.html | xargs file | grep -v ASCII

Lee at i3668 /source/privoxy/privoxy/doc
$

yay!
