It's a good idea, however this particular way of doing it is not practical -- because in many cases, the majority of images opened do not have a profile. We need to find an approach that would not require vast amounts of dialog interaction. In any case, profiles are NOT automatically attached to images without profiles, in my tests with PNGs. The reason you might assume they are, is that GIMP automatically displays images which have no profile attached, as if they had the working profile attached. If your experiences don't match the above, perhaps the specific save plugin in question does (wrongly) attach the working profile when saving.
