Without having looked closely at the issue and just reading your analysis of it, the bug appears to be in the libs GIMP use. Might be the GTK X backend, or even as deep as X itself, perhaps in the form of a mouse driver bug or something. There is a chance that this bug has been fixed in more recent versions of GTK and/or X and/or your mouse driver, so before continuing your search for a fix lower down in the libs I highly recommend you to use the latest SVN versions of the appropriate libs (and GIMP).
