Hey there, I'm actually running into the same problem on my little web server http://405murdock.homeip.net running AppleShare IP v6.3.2, and using pages from iWeb '09. I'm still cleaning up the site but slowing getting it to work properly. There is a work around, but it takes a little massaging of the html (Don't worry it's too not bad).
Just save the site to a folder on your OS X box as you've been doing. Next, open the TextEdit app and check the prefs on the option under Open and Save for "ignore rich text commands in HTML files" This will keep the html opening as text and NOT try to display and render, allowing you to massage the code. Then, open the webpage HTML file you want to fix.
Now the manual labor portion. Open the folder containing the resource files for the web page. This is the folder used as a repository for backgrounds, images, text, etc. From this folder you'll need to identify the files with too long names such as "image_that_is_just_too_damn_cute_not_use_.jpg". Select the filename, do a COPY, and rename it to something more manageable like "image_baby1.jpg". The idea is to fix the name and substitute the new name throughout the page's HTML.
Now, go back to TextEdit and do a Search and replace of the original filename "image_that_is_just_too_damn_cute_not_use_.jpg" with the OS 9 safe version "image_baby1.jpg". Repeat this with any/all the resource files in that folder. Again, making sure to COPY the original file's name before renaming it. This'll make it easier to do the Find and Replace of the text within the HTML. Once you've gone through the folder and cleaned up the filenames, matched the entry in the HTML code this now render complete and look as it should. You DON'T have to know HTML. I don't, but do know enough to do a find/replace within a text document (which after all is what HTML really is).
Good luck,
-CTM
