The only solution I know of is to use a desktop publishing application
to make a PDF file with your image positioned as desired.  Scribus is a
good option.

This is a very long standing problem, vs. not a problem except that the
feature in question leads users to believe that the GIMP can do
something it actually can't do.

If anyone knows how to make the feature in question work, do please clue
us in...
