Thanks for your quick answer and, help and concern about this inquires.
That makes very nice to be part in a so newbie friendly community as Sage.
It seems that I had missed some dependencies and your detailed method
show me that. Now the exporter is working and I can reproduce the same
results as yours. Now it seems to me that htlatex is a workable approach
from TeXmacs to Sage translations.

The more as I see Beamer presentations (specially the ones of the Sage
Days) the more I think that is a selling point of LaTeX. I have found a
nice package called yml2tex that makes easier to create Beamer, with
some constrains, like the default template being always the same, but is
a good start.

So seems that the problem now is to make htlatex to take a proper config
file to understand the LaTeX output of TeXmacs and convert it to proper
sws. I don't know (La)TeX enough to make that happen, but I will be
making some exploratory tests with tex4ht-sage.cfg. If that don't work I
will "escape to Python" to see what can I do from there, but that brings
back to life the point 3, so the point is that htlatex and
PlasTeX/python are "excluding combinations". Both experiments are
interesting although.
I will keep you posted.
