Status::getHTML() currently calls MessageCache::transform(), which does not generate HTML. This appears to be an oversight. It should call MessageCache::parse() instead. Status::getHTML() is not used in the core at the moment. It appears that the only usage (for which this method was created) was removed as a workaround to the problem described here.
I just ran into this issue. Are you still working on this? If not, I'm going to fix it.
Go ahead, I had already forgotten about this :)
