I thought I'd give this a try again, so I downloaded and installed the Windows version.
It has colour management but not 16 bit colour support (maybe the Linux version is different?). If I try to load a 16 bit tif, the program complains and converts to 8 bit. Interestingly, if I load a Pentax PEF file via the UFRaw plugin, UF Raw seemingly passes the converted file to the Gimp without any complaint about it being 16 bit. But it converts to 8 bit anyway.
