I can confirm this behaviour: no metadata are transferred to the decoded image
when not using the 'use default' button. 

In itself losing the EXIF info wouldn't be all that much of a problem 
(although it worked correctly in previous versions of Digikam...), but it 
means that e.g. the automatic lens correction won't be able to use metadata 
(since they are not imported).
