The shortcut "-c" (for console messages?) seems to be not implemented, at least not in gimp/app/main.c where the other command line parameters are declared. Beware though, that this kind of redirection requires gimp to be build as a "console application" rather than a "windows application". I don't know if the 'official' build of gimp for windoze still is. If you are only interested in the registration process (and don't need a graphical interface) you also can try to run "gimp-console" rather than "gimp". The plug-in intialization process is supposed to be the same.
