Metadata is, almost by definition, non-essential to the layer and pixel composition of an image; so the fact GIMP ignores it during load only makes a difference if you need to write said composition back to a TIFF file with original metadata preserved.  (Which is, of course, little consolation if your particular workflow relies on this.)
