The same. It's groff's fault, it changes them for entities (i.e. ł
becomes £ and so on. Any way of telling it not to change some
characters or of putting the resulting HTML trough sed?  But if so one
more thing would have to be fixed - the resulting HTML dose not contain
encoding identification. So either sed should add antoher <meta> tag
(encoding is iso-8859-2) or the server should report it.

And by the way, you have something strange with your xml->HTML
processing. Right now the single page has correct <meta> indicated
encoding. The chunked documentation (or at least
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/pl/index.html) has <meta> indicating
it uses iso-8859-1. And I remember a few days ago, when I checked
something, noticing that in one of the files, don't remember in which
one now, the meta tag was ok, but the server reported iso-8859-1.  And
both the single file and chunked one doesn't have <!DOCTYPE>
declaration. On my box the documentation has these.

I'll try to as well, but no guarantees I'll succeed.
