I often find myself using the free selection tool to cut polygonal holes in a selection, one side at a time -- if you draw an arc with the free selection tool, gimp connects the endpoints, so you make those endpoints two vertices of the polygon, and eventually you get there. It's not entirely true to say you had to have used paths from the start, since you can save the first selection to a channel, make the new one with paths, including an approximate, much larger outer rectangle, and then convert to selection and intersect with the saved selection.
