I saw your post some lines below, and I think you're a little wrong, the adapter work fine without opening book, the problem is when we use an extern book like bookthinker in this case.
what I mean is the adapter receives the number of moves to make and it doesn't take care about moves made by bookthinker.
for example
if we got the time control 60 10 0
and the bookthinker make five moves like
g1f3 g8f6 c2c4 e7e6 g2g3 d7d5 d2d4 d5c4 d1a4 b8d7
then after the last move made by the book, the adapter send
go wtime 600000 btime 600000 movestogo 60
nevertheless the last line must be movestogo 55!!
so in fact moves made by bookthinker(in this case 5 moves) were not
considerated.
When the game is on the move 60 the adapter send the line
go wtime xxxxxx btime xxxxxx movestogo 5!
so on move 61 on the second time control, time is more than 10 minutes
(in this case) and uci engines think they have 10 minutes to make only
5 moves.
by the way, take a time control like you say (240 moves) is a good solution
but it's not so common.

In fact is the same you say, but only I think the adapter is no made for use with external books.

Indeed. BTW: there is some change that someone will fix that error.
