Maybe you noticed that once you set things up in Blender Internal and switch
back to POV your physics still export properly? It's a good thing to start
learning Blender internal, as the official exporter has some intent to emulate
it.

Thanks for the report! (and proof that we need more) It's solved and will be
committed to source when I get back to my computer. The below code was missing
line 52 of ui.py in render_povray :

# wrapping every class 'as is'
from bl_ui import properties_physics_common
for member in dir(properties_physics_common):
    subclass = getattr(properties_physics_common, member)
    try:
        subclass.COMPAT_ENGINES.add('POVRAY_RENDER')
    except:
        pass
del properties_physics_common
