Peter,
I was having the same trouble which eventually led me to find this thread, but I've noticed something.
For me, when I export an Excel file of my data it looks like a file full of HTML data, just as you said. When I tried to open it I got the same. However, I was trying to open it in an application which is "compatible" with the Excel format, not Microsoft Excel.
Now, when I take that exact same file and actually open it using Microsoft Excel software, it opens up just fine. An Excel spreadsheet just like any other...
Are you opening the downloaded .xls file(s) using the Microsoft Excel application? Or with some other interpreter of some kind? That could be the problem. It solved the issue for me at least.

Is there a small incompatibility with 2.0.5?
