he reason I'm asking about it is I would have presumed that bulkheads should be as strong, stiff, and watertight

All these.
Also:
When you get to paddle you will be putting your spare clothes and towel in a dry bag because they will be what you change into,eventually, if and when you get swamped.You will also bring some comfort food in an inflated dry bag.Always put one in each hold to give you the essential second defence buoyancy and serves two reasons.Like ET says,but foam only serves one reason and your stuck with it.Conveniently,most woods float.Clobber without trapped air might not help.
