While I have created the bug report, I don't think this one is a major 
issue. There are work-arounds (in most cases you
can just flip the path..., and there are also scripts to reverse the 
path direction).

Gimp is mostly community-based, and the community isn't helping much. 
The code change that creates the bug is two years old, so this bug has 
been around in the 2.9 version and the 2.10 release candidates,  and no 
one encountered it? Reporting bugs is a service to developers... It's 
almost a way to thank them :)
