That's very strange. The message should only be shown when
there is nothing in that file (and also no + rules in
/etc/X11/choosewm/config and $HOME/.choosewm/config, but
the last two should be emtpy/nonexisting by default).
Could you try to start it again to see what message you get
and perhaps a strace of it to see what it reads?
(the part between
open("/var/lib/choosewm/windowmanagers", O_RDONLY) = 3
and the first thing starting with
open("/usr
should suffice.

That's because Gnome and kde do not consider themself windowmanagers
but something better (i.e. session managers) and thus do not register
as window managers in the Debian menu thus not ending up in the file.
You have to either add them as
add: Gnome=/usr/bin/gnome-session
add: KDE=/usr/bin/startkde
in /etc/X11/choosewm/config or $HOME/.choosewm/configto have them presented,
too. (Or add them to the Debian menu via a file in /etc/menu to make them
show up in every program cable to start or switch window managers).
Hochachtungsvoll,
