Thanks for the bugreport, although I was already aware of this problem. I'll try to look into this asap.
Btw, where did you read how to use the effects? :-) Just curious :-)

Guess it's better to start with example then explanation:
- draw rectangle, convert it to 4 node path (ctrl+shift+c)
and copy it (ctrl+c) 1a) fill it with black color 2) draw 2 point bezier line 3) open LPE editor (ctrl+shift+7) 4) pick Skeletal Stroke, apply it and paste (ctrl+v) from clipboard 5) chose Single, stretched
Expected: filled four node path Result: broken path which can't be filled. Because there's no way to see how many nodes resulting path has it must be converted to regular path (ctrl+shift+c). And then it's easily noticeable that path is broken in many ways: there are too many nodes (expected 4) and shape is badly broken!
Illustrative screenshots attached!
