It is the PSD format problem. GIMP uses XCF as it's native format and it is the only format which supports ALL gimp's features. You should always save your images as XCF to avoid any data loss (such as text formatting, composition modes and so). If you need to reuse the image in PS afterwards you should save to PSD only after you are not likely to edit the image in GIMP again. If you don't need to use the image in photoshop then there is no point in saving to PSD.
