Let's try to rephrase again:
You never before in GIMP could "see your jpg file" after it was written
to disk, unless you performed a "file->revert" right after you "saved" to
JPG in versions prior to GIMP 2.8;  The data you kept
seeing on GIMP, with the attached "name" of the jpg file
was the data as it was in GIMP memory, prior to writing the file -
just as it happens in GIMP 2.8.

Therefore, you are just complaining that you could fool yourself before -
and current GIMP does not allow you to be tricked into thinking the image
you are seeing is exactly what is on the jpg file anymore.
