Every option in both the Setup and Record menus are covered in pages 44-56, and I can't find mention of it...

Just to follow up on my own posting, I'm now home from work (woot!), and I've had a look at my D-Lux 4. There is no menu setting for indicating the presence of a lens extender/converter. Perhaps there is on the Panasonic version --- couldn't say as I own the Leica.
To repeat myself (and preemptively fend off a rebuttal from Howard!), this does not mean that the converters won't work on the D-Lux 4, it just means that the captured image will not be adjusted for any imperfections that may result from its use (in the way that the camera makes adjustments for the lens in general). I'm sure there are many that will use converters and be happy with the results. The absence of official support from Leica may, however, be a further indication that they do not intend for these gadgets to be used on the camera. Pure speculation.
