Description
QGIS 2.14 seems to have an error exporting Features (3D) to GPX. Doing the same with the same data in QGIS 2.8.x the GPX-Files are valid.
What happens: In QGIS 2.14 in the altitude values become centimeters instead of meters in the exported GPX. (Screenshot lower right window)
Workflow: Shapefile with line-features (3D with z values) in Austria GK West (epsg:31254) --> select a feature --> Save as... --> GPX without attributes with target CRS epsg:4326. Coordinates are OK, altutude-values become centimeters. Same workflow in QGIS 2.8.x --> everything OK (Screenshot left window).
Workflow 2: Transform the Shapefile to epsg:4326 before export --> same behaviour.
Workflow 3: Setting no target CRS at export to GPX (user defined -10000) --> altitude values in meters ! but coordinates not decimal degrees.
In QGIS 2.8 the normal workflow and also variant workflow 1 work well and generate valid GPX-files.

Don't transform z coordinates by default
Since z coordinates can represent potentially any height
unit and reference point, it's not safe to assume that they
always represent height in metres relative to the ellipsoid.
Instead, leave z values untouched by default with geometry
transforms, and make transforming z an optional parameter

I believe this is a change/bug in GDAL itself - trying to convert a shapefile with Z to GPX using ogr2ogr also results in the incorrectly converted altitude values.

I'm not sure this is a bug in the OGR GPX driver. I couldn't reproduce on ogr2ogr command line any issue, but with QGIS yes. So I suspect there's an issue with how QGIS reprojects coordinates.

If I open linestring25d_4326.shp with QGIS (master) and save it as GPX, the GPX is fine. If I open linestring25d_32631.shp with QGIS and save it as GPX, making sure to force the target SRS to EPSG:4326, then the elevations are corrupted :

I've submitted https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3244 which fixes my above case for linestring25d_32631.shp export from QGIS. Looks to me like the issue would have always existed ! (since the commit that introduces it is from 2006!)
