This is still the case for 5.10.0. The POD reference in perlpod.pod says
this about the doubled angle bracket delimiters:

 This is currently supported by pod2text (Pod::Text), pod2man (Pod::Man),
 and any other pod2xxx or Pod::Xxxx translators that use Pod::Parser
 1.093 or later, or Pod::Tree 1.02 or later.

Unfortunately Pod::Html isn't one of those.
