problem with dl tag in tools::Rd2HTML

I think tools::Rd2HTML has a problem with the dl tag.
Under some conditions, <p> and </p>, and <dl> and </dl> are not nested
correctly.
Here is an example from the "options" doc file:
--
<p>
<dl>
<dt><code>save.defaults</code>, <code>save.image.defaults</code>:</dt><dd>
see <code>save</code>.</dd>
</p>
--
You can see that the <p> starts, then <dl> starts, then </p> end the
paragraph, but the <dl> has not ended yet.
I don't really understand in html, but I think the correct way would be
--
<dl>
<p>
<dt><code>save.defaults</code>, <code>save.image.defaults</code>:</dt><dd>
see <code>save</code>.</dd>
</p>
