Most image formats (png, jpg, psd, etc.) have zero support for layers, so when 
you export to such a format they will become flattened by definition; that is 
not a bug.


This is why there's a distinction between "Save" and "Export".  Save uses 
GIMP's own format (xcf) which preserves the layer structure.  So make sure you 
are using the proper command for the job.

Export for jpg, tiff, png, psd, etc.
Save for xcf
