In other words, you aren't taking in account the gamma encoding.
The trouble is, I'm exporting an alpha layer to a PNG and then applying that layer on top of another layer in a different piece of software (Imagesharp). That software appears to do the style of compositing (linear? perceptual?) that results in a 128,128,128 pixel, so I get a different image from that (darker) than from GIMP when I want to achieve the same image. Is there a way I can get GIMP to output the alpha values such that when the other software blends the layer with a background layer it will result in the same output as GIMP?
