Description
I tried building InternalMIDI from make to see if this gets around it, but I think unless builders of InternalMIDI has their path selection method wrong, then its a haiku bug.

This seems to be an issue with InternalMidi. It uses find_directory() looking for B_SYNTH_DIRECTORY:
https://github.com/HaikuArchives/InternalMIDI/blob/master/source/Prefs.cpp#L30 :
find_directory(B_SYNTH_DIRECTORY, &fSynthDirectory ); fSynthDirectory.SetTo( fSynthDirectory.Path(), "synth" );
B_SYNTH_DIRECTORY isn't defined as "official location" in the FindDirectory header, but in MidiDefs.h as B_SYSTEM_DATA_DIRECTORY. Therefore InternalMidi will only find synths from a package which will appear in /system/data/synth (when installed in the system hierarchy).
InternalMidi should use BPathFinder to look through all possible locations, I suppose.
It would be interesting to also test /boot/system/non-packaged/data/synth to see if it ends up with same result.
