This bug existed in a previous version of Gimp 2.10, and even after I updated to the latest version of Gimp 2.10 (version 2.10.32) the bug remained.
Here's an explanation of the bug:
When I load a 16bit grayscale raw image file (extension is .data) it correctly keeps the 16bit mode in the loaded file. However, when I then use export to again save the edited 16bit grayscale picture, again as a raw image, the output file is incorrectly converted to 8bit grayscale. The result is that I lose the 16bitness of the raw data output. It keeps the 16bitness if I save to a TIF file or PNG file, but not if I save back to a raw (file extension .data) image. Please fix this bug.
