It isn't the fuels that are the problem -- it's the conversion kits. What they seem to be sayiing is
1. Nobody seems to be submitting kits for EPA approval
2. Approval is probably expensive, because you have to prove that the system will work correctly for a bizillion miles -- and that you will fix it if it doesn't
You can have various types of pollution with anything -- if you burn it wrong. So, somebody needs to prove to the EPA that their kit will work the way that it's supposed to.
I'm guessing that it comes down to $$$. Nobody can figure out how to make enough money selling kits to justify the expense of getting them approved.
And, they'd probably have to be approved separately for each application. And, of course, the auto companies would try to void any warranty on a converted vehicle. (Yes, there's a law, but they'd try).
Just my opinions

Propane conversions that I have seen are very "crude" compared to a stock gasoline injection system.
