That's a little weird but should work nonetheless. The problem is probably caused by convert incremental conversion support: it remembers it has converted these revisions from the source repository and skip them during the second run, even if the conversion parameters are different. You can avoid this by:

1- Converting file2 in another repository, pulling into the first converted repository, then merging.

or

2- Before attempting the second conversion, removing .hg/shamap.
