Ciao Greg,
GeoTools and therefore GeoServer does not support this format as of now.
As you noticed, it is supported by GDAL, which means we can support it
inside geotools/geoserver quite easily through the imageio-ext [1]
project and its geotools/geoserver counterpart [2][3].
We have not added support for it so far becasue of lack of interest,
but it seems that things have changed :-).
I am ccing daniele so that he willprovide more details on this.

Simone.
