It is no better is different
Are just 2 different concepts
you may want a visible watermark ,to make your photo unsable by others , for this more a watermark is visible and centered better it works (too easy crop away the W is if close to the margin.)...here the more is visible the more it works (but to my taste works making your image so ugly that nobody may wish to steal it )

Here the more is hidden the better will work .

i think is not really a bug,
i think is not really a bug, most of gimp filters and even tools works (or in some cases works as expected) only in RGB or RGBA mode
To edit Index or greyscale images is usually better first convert them in RGB mode,...then at the end if needed you may convert back
