The -P option was introduced in bash in version 2.05b. The culprit is most likely not bash, but the ArrangementDocHTML script itself. It specifies /bin/sh as shell, which might be bash but does not have to be bash. Especially new distros replace /bin/sh with a more lightweight shell, e.g. dash.
Has anyone experience on how much we could rely on /bin/bash being present?
On the other hand, you could run something along the following lines to see if htlatex is installed:
which htlatex 2>/dev/null | grep -q htlatex || echo "htlatex not installed"
