I haven't actually tried it out properly, but if I load an image, convert the mode to indexed, and select "Save As", the GIF filetype is NOT grayed out on file/save, so it looks like that is indeed the trick. Why I concluded that there was no GIF support? Trying to save files, "GIF", apparently no matter what the context, was greyed out. I must shamefacedly admit I never tried *loading* a GIF, which works fine, and the "GIF" filetype is not greyed out. That would have been a bit of a pointer... Then, when a search of the archives found a few people seeming to imply that GIF wasn't there - well, I jumped to conclusions. So, thanks for the tip!
