That was exactly one of the two options I just described. and
if you're saving to XCF, you'll end up with a flattened XCF
that's lost all the layer info.

Sure, it's fine if you only use the plug-in for exporting to JPG,
and use Save for XCF. But then you probably wouldn't want to bind
it to Ctrl-S.
