As per a comment on your ticket, it turns out that you could as workaround explicitly specify the type converter.

You could do it as follows

<pref:fieldComponent text="#{bean.foo}">

</pref:fieldComponent>

and

<cc:implementation>
    <h:inputText id="field" value="#{cc.attrs.text}">
        <cc:insertChildren />
    </h:inputText>
</cc:implementation>

or maybe

<pref:fieldComponent text="#{bean.foo}" converter="javax.faces.Integer" />

and

<cc:implementation>
    <h:inputText id="field" value="#{cc.attrs.text}" converter="#{cc.attrs.converter}" />
</cc:implementation>
