This is more a comment than an answer, I do however not have enough reputation to comment, so I can do this or nothing, I think this is more usefull to anyone having this problem. I am facing the same problem and am still trying to fix it.

When I install the Kiosk app from the Chrome app store (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/) on my Chrome Box it is installed and it can be successfully installed as an Kiosk app (it can be added to the list of kiosk apps in the extension settings screen (chrome://extensions/)). The source of this app is on Github at: https://github.com/zebradog/kiosk. I took the source and created a zip file of this app and imported it in my developer dashboard. I then published it to a private group of testers (me basically) and installed this app on my Chrome Box from the Chrome app store. The interesting thing is that this app cannot be added to the list of kiosk apps.

This either means the code on GitHub is not current with the published app in the Chrome app store, although the version number is the same, or the problem has something to do with my account or the fact that I published the app privately instead of publically.

I contacted the author of the Kiosk app but have not heared from him.

I hope this might help someone, I will continue to try and get my app to install as a kiosk app. When I do I will update this comment/answer.
