My guess is that it's not a bug.
Generics don't exist at run-time, only compile-time, so your
getters/setters would be of type java.lang.Object.
A "non-converted" value binding would be of String type since that's
what HTML forms submit by default.
I can't think of a way to make it work any better than manually
specifying a converter.
