Maciej,

as written earlier, the file location bogofilter looks for can be part
of the configuration file,
so you have not proven (neither here nor in the bug report's new
comment) that it's a fault of the executables.

For converting between formats, you can dump the old database to a
text-based format with one executable, and then load it into a different
database format with the other executable and changed configuration,
check the bogoutil documentation for that.
