Denemo works with real, logical correct, notes, not just with dots on
lines. What you encountered is a drawing bug, the notes are correct
indeed. They are just the same what they were in the original clef.
After all this is what is "translating between clefs" really means:
Keep the same pitch, but draw it different (the last part was is
obviously wrong in Denemo, but saving and reloading shows that it
worked in fact. There are other workarounds...)

Since you are translating between Bass and Guitar I suspect you are not
interested in Transposing at all but in Diatonic shifting.
Use the "Gaming Cursor Keys" [w][a][s][d] for real Denemo magic. 

[w] and [s] shift the selected notes (or single ones) up and down, but
they stay in the key. Hold shift to let them jump a whole octave up or
down. This even preserves accidentals. 
This fixes the display after copy and paste, too. 

[a] and [d] are for double / half the duration of a note/selection.
