Your observation regarding women converts vis-a-vis recognition
of the children as Jews is quite correct. It was an oversight on
my part in stating the answer.

Yes, the same is true (to the best of my knowledge) regarding
marriages (for both the oversight and the recognition).

Regarding the processing of conversion papers for potential olim,
I can only pass on an incident related to me by a close friend
(who is also an orthodox rabbi). Recently (I don't know exactly
when), aliyah application papers submitted to Jerusalem included
conversion papers. The officiating rabbi was an orthodox rabbi.
However, one of the witnesses was a reform rabbi. That would not
be a problem ordinarily as he would be accepted as a witness.
However, he signed 'Rav' after his name on the witness line and
there was a hell of a flap over the whole thing because they 
had checked the registry and he was not a rabbi according to
their records. So rather than really answer that question when
I really don't know, I pass that along and you can draw your own
conclusions too.
