I have opened ticket #11695 to track this; you should get copied on any
changes to the ticket.

Updating the metadata only in the OME TIFF is certainly possible, but
this isn't exposed through the plugin.  The OME-XML can certainly be
replaced using the standard libtiff API to update the
TIFFTAG_IMAGEDESCRIPTION tag if you wanted to do this yourself, and you
could probably also do this using the OMETiffWriter API so long as you
don't replace the image planes (but this isn't necessarily advisable!).
