 That's interesting... I've never had such a problem with this app. I'd be interested in the files you are converting. I imagine Costas Nadalis might be interested as well. 
 On other apps... you could try the SDLXLIFF to Legacy Converter as this has a TMX option:

Hi Raphael Corbeil 
 The easiest way to convert an SDLXLIFF to TMX format is the following: 
 In the Translation Memories View, create a new translation memory with the matching language pair of the SDLXLIFF and save it to a place you know you can find it. 
 Then, also in the Translation Memories View, highlight your newly created translation memory in the Translation Memories pane and select 'Import' either on the top toolbar or via left-click. 
 In the 'wizard' that opens, click 'Add Files...' and navigate to where your SDLXLIFF is (if you need more explanation on how to find it, please say). 
 Double-click the SDLXLIFF (or left-click and select 'Open') to import the SDLXLIFF into the translation memory (extension .sdltm). 
 Click 'Next' and then select the segments confirmation level/s if they're not default. Then click 'Next'. 
 Then you have a window that gives you various import options. As you're working with a new translation memory (TM) you can leave these 'as is' unless there's anything you wish to refine. 
 When the wizard has finished running, click 'Close'. 
 Then, go to your newly created TM to which you've imported your SDLXLIFF and, again, highlight your newly created translation memory in the Translation Memories pane and select 'Export' either on the top toolbar or via left-click. 
 In the Export Options wizard that opens, use Browse to navigate to where you want to save it and give your TMX a name. Example as follows:

Then click 'Finish'. 
 Hope this is enough information. Let me know if not. 
 All the best, 
 Ali
