I believe this happens to everyone using GIMP 2.8.* on Windows.

There is a workaround: instead of spacebar-panning, use Navigation Control at
the bottom right of image window, or Navigation Dialog
(http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-navigation-dialog.html), or window scrollbars.
Neither of those cause this glitch.
