The conversion restores the partitions as basic

Symptoms

1. You back up a machine with LVM or RAID;
2. When an automatic conversion to a new virtual machine is attempted, the LVM / RAID is not recreated.

Cause

This behavior is by design.

Automatic conversion restores the drives as basic, and the boot sector is set up to boot properly.

Solution

As workaround, use the manual conversion mode. There you can define the new LVM / RAID structure.
