Hi!! psycholinguist.
I tried it with Wings3D 1.4.1 in MacOSX 10.7.5,and have confirmed the same results..
If use Wings3D Built-in File Dialog,maybe you can save other image formats.
But the Wings3D Built-in Dialog functional is too simple than MacOSX Native's.
Before try follawing way,please save a backup Wings3D Preference.txt file.
For example, you made a directory that named "working", on MacOSX desktop.
The working directory's path is "/Users/(YourUserName)/Desktop/working"
Note: Make sure that there are NO NEARBY file entry of NON-LATIN name in this directory.
This dialog can't read non-Latin charactors,this cause Wings3D'Crush.
STEP 1.
Open Wings3D Prefence.txt for modify,and search following a entry in the file,
{current_directory,"/Users/(UserName)/Desktop/working"}.
... then change a directory-path to working directory.
STEP 2.
Run Wings3D 1.4.1
STEP 3.
Un-check an entry "Mac OS File Dialog" in the File menu of Wings3D.
This mean for using Wings3D Built-in File Dialog.
STEP 4.
This dialog is invoked when does Open/Save/Export/Import commands from menu.
In the dialog to export the texture,it is now possible to select the image format(png etc...).
Important Note (Again):
Be carefully, changing a directory when using Built-in Dialog.
This dialog can't read non-Latin charactors.
When you tried display to current directory...
if non-latin name files are contain in same the directory level.
Wings3D will be Crush!
Move non-latin named files from current direcoty.
To recovery the state of Wings3D, Check "STEP.1" please.
if you want use Mac OSX dialog ,check an entry "Mac OS File Dialog" in the File menu of Wings3D.

(Incidentally, when Wings3D save at native dialog in OSX10.9.4, and by changing the file extension, the file format is changed too.)
