This definitely used to work in previous Struts versions (e.g. 2.0.7, 2.0.9, and 2.0.14) so I think this is a bug. In fact, this bug had occurred in previous 2.0.x versions but had been fixed (see http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-472). I submitted an XWork bug a couple weeks ago (http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-725), but so far there is no response.
In previous Struts versions, the object factory used to instantiate type converters was org.apache.struts2.spring.StrutsSpringObjectFactory, but in 2.1.6 it is com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory instead. The implementation of http://jira.opensymphony.com/browse/XW-566 probably caused this because the object factory used to create type converters is now injected instead of statically set. In the reloadContainer method of com.opensymphony.xwork2.config.impl.DefaultConfiguration, ObjectFactory is used to create the bootstrap container which contains XWorkConverter. Therefore, an ObjectFactory instance gets injected into XWorkConverter which means that the type converters in xwork-conversion.properties cannot be Spring beans. This seems to be a major bug.
