 It is hard to tell, but this sounds like a work flow issue.

Helen,
this sounds as if you want to open the PNG or JPG file.  If your open image 
window in Gimp has a button at the lower right that says: “GIMP XCF image 
(*.xcf)” then that file wont be listed. You could set the button to “All 
images”.
But if I went into my studio to paint a canvas (painting.xcf) and later took a 
polaroid of my progress (Export > painting.png) I would not continue my work by 
painting on the polaroid.
But maybe I misunderstand and you have a bug in your GIMP or gtk.
