It's true, I've sometimes overwritten my archival copy like that. A checkbox, "save as a readonly file" on export, and "save as" or 'save a copy" would help a lot. Resize on export - I usually resize and then run sharpen or unsharp, and often adjust curves, before the actual export. I really really really wish I could tell in some way from the GUI whether the image *as I see it now* on screen, in gimp, has been exported; I'm entirely uninterested in knowing if I exported the image 3 hours ago, before lots of changes, which is all GIMP tells me today. The * in the title bar for "image has not been saved" used to do that, because save as png or jpeg counted as a save and removed the "dirty" flag. I don't want that back again (can lose data by forgetting to save back to xcf) but I'd like (say) a % to mean "exported but changed since last export". With that, the resize/export/undo cycle would become much more reliable.
