Sounds good.

I think your hypothesis that it's related to the zoom level may be correct.
I restarted GIMP with no GEGL environment variables. I opened image >
duplicated layer. I set the zoom level to 50.1% and I saw the same
artifacts. Then I increased the zoom to 50.5% and it went away.

You realize that for large images, it would be unwieldy to be painting at
that zoom level?

Thanks again to you and pippin for resolving this.
