Personally I would always keep any original image so even a 'first save = last save' would get a new name and hence go through the dlg with the quality option. You clearly know more about the detail of this than I do but isn't there a direct one-to-one mapping once the original compression is done? Any deviation from that must be errors in the decoding, so is what you posted a symptom of continual rounding errors in the decoding altering the image each time? Then the growing artifacts are a result of the limited colour resolution of 8 bits per channel used by gimp.
