GIMP frustration

Recently I'm disappointed of GIMP: it seems that you cannot defloat a floating selection without completely losing that selection, too.

I might be wrong, though. If you know how to do the following, tell me please. The scenario: we have two photos. You want to copy a selection of photo2 to photo 1.

1. Copy a selection from photo2 (with different levels of opacity and a shape you want to further use in photo1)
2. Paste the selection to photo1. The selection will now be a floating one.
3. Try doing any selection operations to the new selection, such as adding feather or merging the seletion to another one stored on a mask/channel.

I'm using GIMP 2.4.2., apparently. It ships with my Ubuntu <3.
