This is such a common task, there may be cause to have a Resize option bundled with the Export command.  
Having to always perform them as two separate steps is an annoyance, but the possibility of accidentally 
saving the wrong resolution back to the XCF file is a danger.

Yes. Of course you may decide to make a flattened full resolution xcf version and export multiple resolution 
png files from this. 
It doesn't matter if you corrupt the source xcf (flattened) file as you can easily replace it from the master 
xcf document.
Courses for horses, I suppose.
