Hmmm, didn't seem to work:

1. Drawing a basic bezier path
2. Making bitmap of it
3. Tracing

It produces a filled path. If I remove the fill and add stroke I don't get the path from point 1. again. I get two parallel lines rather.

Of course - because you made a bezier path with stroke but no fill, so you're tracing an image showing a narrow black strip. The result is a path that represents this strip. Make a path with fill but no stroke in point 1. and you'll get what you need.
