  It does when building the HTML document tree:

---------------------
orchis:~/XML -> ./xmllint --debug --html tst.html 
tst.html:3: error: htmlParseCharRef: invalid xmlChar value 25
bla  bla
         ^
HTML DOCUMENT
URL=tst.html
standalone=true
  DTD(HTML), PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN, SYSTEM http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd
  ELEMENT html
    TEXT
      content= 
    ELEMENT body
      ELEMENT p
        TEXT
          content= bla  bla 
orchis:~/XML -> 
---------------------

   the character is actually discarded by the character reference parsing
routine:

---------------------
    /*
     * Check the value IS_CHAR ...
     */
    if (IS_CHAR(val)) {
        return(val);
    } else {
        if ((ctxt->sax != NULL) && (ctxt->sax->error != NULL))
            ctxt->sax->error(ctxt->userData, "htmlParseCharRef: invalid xmlChar value %d\n",
                             val);
        ctxt->wellFormed = 0;
    }
    return(0);
---------------------

  It will complain but not generate any character for it.
