This backtrace seems similar to following upstream issues:
   https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/4392
   https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/6021   (mentions a possible workaround)

And downstream this bug shows up and links to a few others:
   https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=968005

Kind regards,
