Although it only work as a bug, if I open fixture settings and select RGB and try to go back to RRGGBB, it will not work.
That will probably just duplicate the 8 bits of a color channel to the next 8 bits, won't give you 16 bit color depth

That's definitely what will happen. The best solution would probably be for Resolume to add the ability to create fixture profiles with 16-bit parameters.

The most recent Resolume now supports working with 16 bit video. As far as I can see it is still not possible to do 16-bit parameters for DMX, right? Now would be a good time to add that feature IMHO.

16 bit video and composition rendering was possible since the v6 release.
The new feature in 7.24 is 10 bit output to hardware displays.
