I can't reproduce this. I used the following simple org file:

,----

| * Test

| #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
| This is a test.
| #+END_EXAMPLE

did C-c C-e h and got the attached html file. The example is
<pre>'d properly I think.

Thanks Nick.  That does help give me something to compare against.  I've attached my results from the same test you did with C-c C-e h showing <p> tags instead of <pre> tags for the BEGIN_EXAMPLE/END_EXAMPLE section.

Thanks
