Just in case you haven’t read my initial post where I unearthed a “quirk” in the mx:Text component in flex, have a look at this post. Adobe’s dev team has confirmed the bug and have been able to successfully reproduce it as well. For a glimpse into what goes wrong have a look at the following image.
Updates on this issue are available here.
Well atleast now you won’t have to fret about it until Adobe comes up with a solution.
I did come across a more complete component for HTML display within flex by Drumbeat Insight. Unfortunatly the component is no longer free, and the $149 proce tag may put any developer off unless you can get your organization to pay for it.

Just submitted a bug report to Adobe regarding problems with using <img> tag in the htmlText property of mx:Text component. In a fixed width component with variable height, the component only resizes itself based on the text and does not take into account the image’s height. A description of the problem can be found at the Flex Bug and Issue Management System. I haven’t found a workaround for the issue
