It's been a long time since I worked with geotiffs in Gimp, but my 
experience was that it opens the file like any other tiff format, but 
you lose all the metadata.  Though since you are exporting as bmp,
maybe that doesn't matter in this use case?  In my case I had utilities
that could extract the metadata and then restore it into "normal" tiff
format files that I exported out of Gimp.
