I am surprised by this, but I am prepared to accept the authority of the OED. Will correct the spelling in the LiVES trunk source, and feel free to close this bug. Note that in libweed there is a #define WEED_FILTER_IS_CONVERTOR. I think the best course of action is to leave this as it is, #define a synonym WEED_FILTER_IS_CONVERTER and mark WEED_FILTER_IS_CONVERTOR as deprecated - to be removed.
