CompanyBob then decides the GSL and 4e are the way to go, and use the conversion clause to convert their Castle DeathSkull adventure to 4e and licensed by the GSL. However, they are now using my monsters, originally released under the OGL in a product that is no longer licensed by the OGL.

Can I cry foul?
Yes.

No. WotC don't have the right to license your OGC under a new license or allow anyone else to do the same. The only way Bob can use your OGC is by using the OGL and he's expressly forbidden from doing that in any product he is producing under the GSL. Bob would have to contact you and get a separate agreement from you to use your monster in his GSL product if that's what he wanted to do.
