Hi
Your comment is surprising. Sorry, I joke....
Yes, Gimp has now a strange behaviour concerning save and save as.
You may install this plug-in

https://github.com/akkana/gimp-plugins/blob/master/save-export-clean.py

http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/14746-a-plug-in-for-those-who-still-don-t-like-the-new-save-export

It solves the problem, partially.
