Any 720p or 1080i setting, was forcing 16:9 output from the device itself (and not the fault of the converter). I verified this with an HDMI monitor, only 480i was properly doing 4:3.
Interesting. I may have to play around with the settings on my Apple TV and see if that fixes it.

On a (somewhat) unrelated note, I was having issues with color saturation on dark images, which lacked detail and appeared completely black. Tweaking the HDMI Hi/Lo settings fixed this. So it's entirely possible the aspect ratio issue could be resolved in a similar manner.
