I ran into the same problem.  When I installed the app in
/LocalApps and the converters in /LocalLibrary/Converters
as the package prompts, I saw just what you're seeing.

But when I installed the app in ~/Apps and the converters in
~/Library/Converters, everything worked as advertised.  I'm
not sure why this rather odd "feature" should be there.
