> The author is complaining about the HTML that comes out of Word. Is it really a huge surprise that something as complicated as Word formatting doesn't come out clean when converted?

It absolutely is a huge surprise. Word presumably uses its own internal format for copy/pasting within Word, and for copy/pasting in HTML format, it should strip everything down to a few minimal tags like <b>, <i> and such. That would be the logical, obvious and useful solution.
