Yes, BMP format does not support such data type, it is limited by the
8-bit depth. It is a bug that GDAL does not produce any error message
for such input. Tt is fixed now and your file will be rejected. You
should explicitly specify output data type with -ot switch and play with
-scale switch to properly adjust your data.
