On closer inspection term_to_ite and a number of other predicates
aren't actually used.  Moose compiles and runs quite happily without
them.  Are they just dead code or was there some (unimplemented) purpose
to them?

I wasn't actually intending to preserve the difference between
the two notations for if-then-else goals in the generated code
(although if anyone yells loudly enough ...)

Why?  It's just normal Mercury syntax - no other syntax (other than moose
specific declarations) are mentioned in the README file.
