This was indeed a bug :)

Well, the bug might have been fixed :)

You can rename all html files, however, using the script 
given few days ago:

find . -type f -name "*.html" -exec ./myscript {} \;

With a "myscript" script such as:

#!/bin/sh
#
test -f "$1" || exit 1
# One single line here:
cat "$1" | sed -e "s/\([\"']\)\([^\"']*\)\(\.html\)\([\"']
\)/\1\2\.shtml\4/g" > "${1%.*}.shtml"
# (End of long line)
rm -f "$1"
