The description of the Bishop conversion rule says this:

" for one of the bishops of the player, the first move made with this bishop must be of this special type. "

I take this sentence to mean that if one of the Bishops gets captured before it moves, the other cannot start with a normal move. This doesn't seem very sensible, though, so I am not sure whether my interpretation is correct.

I have asked Carlos about this and, if one bishop is captured before either has moved, then the other bishop may convert but is not required to.  I'll edit this page to make it a little more clear.
