I have a similar requirement in a Rails app I'm writing, and I've just 
confirmed this on RedCloth 3.0.3 (which is the same version you have.) 
This also presents problems for me, hmmmm.

What it does do is this:

irb(main):019:0> r = RedCloth.new("<img src='foo.jpg'/> *strong*", 
[:filter_html])
=> "<img src='foo.jpg'/> *strong*"
irb(main):020:0> r.to_html
=> "<p><img> <strong>strong</strong></p>"

I'm not sure what point it is to break the HTML and even make it 
non-XHTML compliant.
