Follow-up Comment #11:

updating to note that after reaching out to the GM folks via @carandraug's
initial bug report on this:

https://sourceforge.net/p/graphicsmagick/feature-requests/36/

"The problem is that GraphicsMagick uses only integer values
internally. So the float needs to be scaled to an integer range and
so min/max are needed. The TIFF specification suggestion to use a
value based on BitsPerSample does not seem terribly helpful for float
values.

If Octave can do better internally, then using libtiff directly for
floating-point TIFFs is reasonable." -- GM Maintainer

based on this and the lack of any progress on this (8 years since the last
expression of interest), closing as a Won't Fix.  can always be reopened later
if someone wants to revisit the issue.
