I just tried installing libgegl-0.4-0 version 0.4.14-1+b2 (and
libgegl-common version 0.4.14-1) from sid (also on a bullseye system)
and the GIMP was able to load files and work as expected. You say you
installed GEGL 0.4.14-1. Did you install just plain 0.4.14-1 or with the
+b2 (or +b1)? Did you also install the updated version of
libgegl-common?

If you installed GEGL 0.4.14-1 (no +b*), maybe the issue was introduced
in GEGL 0.4.14-1+b1 or 0.4.14-1+b2?

At any rate, the bug seemed to have been introduced when the GIMP was
updated to 2.10.8-2+b1, so reverting to 2.10.8-2 should provide a
temporary fix at least.
