Hmm, yeah, something scripty seems to be called for (unless the matter can be traced to something in PM's code base itself, in which case maybe CTM could provide a solution (?) Maybe I'll have a look at Automator (which I've never really tried out properly yet) and see if it can help. The ideal,

Re: HTML file 'Open with...' settings
