tex4ht using \(...\) in moving arguments

I'm using tex4ht to produce HTML that contains mathematical content to be rendered using MathJax.

This question is about inline mathematical content in moving arguments, such as \section{\(y^2\)} and \caption{\(y^2\)}.

Working minimal example

The following code compiles fine:

\documentclass{article}\begin{document}\section{$y^2$}\end{document}

Non-working minimal example

Using \(...\) within the moving argument makes the compilation fail:

\documentclass{article}\begin{document}\section{\(y^2\)}\end{document}

Compilation

For both the working, and the non-working minimum working example, I'm using the following command to compile:

make4ht -a debug mwe.tex "mathjax"

texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex4ht/mathjax-latex-4ht.4ht

I think that this will likely come down to redefining \AltlMath from mathjax-latex-4ht.4ht, to make it robust. The default definition is:

\long\def\AltlMath#1\){\expandafter\alteqtoks{\(#1\)}\)}

Question

How can I configure AltlMath to be robust so that \(...\) works within moving arguments?

Footnote: changing the .tex file is not an option :)
