I think that doing an init file along the following should do the trick
(untested), and then call texi2html as
makeinfo --init-file underscore_hex_to_underscore.init


# underscore_hex_to_underscore.init
# change underscore followed by an hex number (for special character)s to a
# simple underscore

$element_file_name = \&underscore_hex_to_underscore_file_name;

sub underscore_hex_to_underscore_file_name($$$)
{
  my $element = shift;
  my $type = shift;
  my $docu_name = shift;

  my $orig_file = $element->{'file'};
  if ($orig_file =~ /_[0-9a-f]{4}/)
  {
     $orig_file =~ s/_[0-9a-f]{4}/_/g;
     return $orig_file;
  }
  retur nundef;
}
