Grovelling through the source I find something called html_quote in 
lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, so I tried:

<!--#var nastyvar html_quote-->

Which seems to so the right thing in the generated source. I'm not sure
how to get at the equivalent method call, though.

Does that help?

(p.s. there's url_quote, as well)
