OK -
This could be a problem with tinyscheme and parasites.
Here is a a console trace:
> (gimp-parasite-list)
(1 ("exif-orientation-rotate"))
> (gimp-parasite-attach (list "test-counter" 1 "123"))
(#t)
> (gimp-parasite-list)
(2 ("exif-orientation-rotate" "test-counter"))
> (gimp-parasite-find "test-counter")
(("test-counter" 1 ""))
> (gimp-parasite-attach (list "test-counter" 1 "123"))
(#t)
> (gimp-parasite-find "test-counter")
(("test-counter" 1 "123"))
The attach didn't work the first time, but did the second time.
