One big downside of the current implementation is that if I choose the wrong "save" option I usually don't realize it until I've already navigated away and hitting <Cancel> forces me to navigate again. Aside from that issue, the current philosophy is better and I think this might help solve both complaints.
There may be other ways to combine the two functions into a single dialog while still making it abundantly clear that there is a distinction; this is just one idea.

I think it might be helpful if the gimp Save dialogue had a button to
"export instead", rather like levels has "use these settings in curves".
But I expect few if any of the developers are still reading this thread.
