It seems odd that you can't export using any file format. FWIW, here is 
how I build babl/GEGL/GIMP from git (I don't follow the "gentoo way" of 
installing software from source):

What prefix are you installing babl/GEGL/GIMP from git in? Is it 
possible that 2.9.4 from portage is interfering with GIMP installed in 
the prefix?

One thing that sometimes helps is to completely uninstall all versions 
of babl/GEGL/GIMP (even the portage versions). Then in the prefix for 
babl/GEGL/GIMP from git, delete and recreate the install folder, so 
there's nothing left behind to interfere with a fresh install. And also 
do "git clean -xdf" to get the build folders completely clean. And then 
start installing from scratch.

The only other thing that comes to mind is whether your libraries for 
jpeg, png, and tiff are all too old. But that seems unlikely if you are 
running Gentoo.

Best,
