MIDI was never designed to represent music notation, nor is there complete standardization of how a MIDI file can even specify which isntrument should be used for which tracks. It's not a bug that different programs might interpret the same MIDI data differently, that's just an inherent limitation of MIDI.
As it is, your first file contains only a single track with all instruments mingled together, and there are no program changes in the second to help a program understand which instrument to use. You'll do much better with a file that separates each file into separate tracks, using program change messages at the beginning of each that use standard Genertal MIDI patch numbers. And if you want the tine signature to be correct, be sure the MIDi file actually contains that informations on each track - yours do not. Although despite this, for me Cheri comes in as 4/4.
