The wvWarning is just dross, a mad thought that I had once, ignore
it. The other stuff are the escher record tags (graphic stuff).
Those two are perfectly valid ones so again they should be ok. Its
possible that the escher code is flawed but its more likely to be
something else, I hope there is a graphic in the original document
otherwise thats the amusing bug :-)

Another thing would be to build wvHtml in the wv dir and use that standalone
to convert the doc to html, that way you can see if wv on its own does
something
spectacularly stupid to quickly confirm if its a wv bug.
