The problem wasn't that the programs were listed as up to date but that they were listed as uninstalled.

Additionally, it seems to have retained my preferences and workspace settings, so I'm in good shape now. For what it's worth, I'm on OSX 10.9.1. Not sure what you mean by system optimizers, I have a few little login items/utilities but nothing major.
