Apparently this functionality or something like it was in 2.6?

I'm not familiar with the specifics, but that is right, in 2.6 GIMP would inform you of precisely what 
(transparency, layers, etc.) could not be output to a given file format.

For the 'crying wolf' (false positive) scenario one idea I've been thinking is a user preferences option to 
suppress that warning for exported images not attached to an XCF file.
