I took a photo, modified it in direct-edit mode, and saved it. I then ran this command for each:

$ exiv2 -pa IMG_0001.JPG > orig.txt
$ exiv2 -pa IMG_0002_saved.JPG > saved.txt

Then I did a diff (using meld) of the files. I see no changes other than a couple expected modifications.

What do you see when you do this experiment?

I edited the copy of the test photo and pressed ^S to save it after a minor edit and reran the experiment. This time Shotwell did delete the camera information and set the exif date to today. It appears that using "save as" preserves this data and save does not. More testing needed. The diff follows:
