I’m considering buying a Canon 1.4x Extender Mark I because my current Tamron teleconverter doesn’t seem to register in Lightroom. Does the Canon Mark I teleconverter show up in image metadata in Lightroom, and will Lightroom recognize that the lens was used with the extender?

I have a Canon 7D mk II, 70-200mm F2.8 II, and the 2x Extender III and when I import the images into Lightroom 5, I noticed that Lightroom Library mode does allow me to filter for using the lens with the extender. I get "EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM +2x III" for the metadata and filtering options but when I go to Development mode, the Lens Corrections will only correct for the 70-200mm without the option of the 2x Extender. Now I know your asking about the 1.4x Extender with the 100-400mm but I suspect with the Canon lens and Canon Extender, the metadata in Lightroom will show the similar information as the 70-200 with 2x Extender.

Probably yes for metadata display, but not necessarily for full Lightroom support. From the community example, Lightroom can show a Canon lens plus Canon extender combination in Library metadata/filtering (for example, a lens listed as “+2x III”). That suggests a Canon 1.4x extender is also likely to be identified similarly when used with a compatible Canon lens.
However, Lightroom may still have limitations: Lens Corrections may only offer the base lens profile and not a separate profile for the lens+extender combination.
Also, the issue may not be your current teleconverter alone. Some teleconverter details are often stored in manufacturer-specific EXIF maker notes, and Adobe software may not read all of that information. Canon’s Digital Photo Professional is a good way to check whether the extender data is actually being recorded by the camera but just not fully interpreted by Lightroom.
