It looks to me like I have to convert to 32bit floating point in order to put the image into that mode and then before exporting convert it back to some integer format if that is what I want (which I think might be necessary if I want a more universally supported image type).
Yes, currently there internal conversions happening for at least some operations.
In 32-bit FP you can still export to the usual formats without an explicit conversion. The only problem is that there seem to be a hard-wired correspondance between image precision in Gimp and the bitness of the TIF file.
