Your expectations are wrong. If an object does not provide 
IIndexableContent or if there is no adapter for this then TXNG3 will 
default to the "old" Zope 2 indexing behaviour and index the string 
representation of the content as it is.

If you have the external converters installed and if they are in the $PATH
and available to the Python interpreter process then I have strong doubts 
about that. Trible check that. If necessary take the debugger for checking
the calls of the external converters.
