When you applied Goodhertz Dither, you didn't create a 16 bit file. You zeroed out bits 19-24 (replaced everything with 0s) but the file still has 24 bits -- just eight are now 0. So Pro Tools still sees a 24 bit file and so still treats it like one.

Yup. Pro Tools' lack of control over dither and SR conversion options on export has always seemed odd to me - In general I tend to export at whatever the native SR/bit depth of the session is and handle file conversions (SR and bit depth) in programs like Myriad or Wavelab.
