I take it you are on Windows... I'm on Linux, but for whatever it's 
worth the only current 2.9.5 linux version of GIMP that I found that 
works with G'MIC is the http://pixls.us/files AppImage (AFAIK there are 
only AppImages for linux). The current otto-kesselgulasch GIMP version 
does not seem to work with GMIC. Thorsten S. was looking in to it, last 
I heard, and said that it was going to be non-trivial to fix. (Any 
update, Thorsten?)

The general picture I get is that things are in flux and maintaining 
G'MIC/GIMP compatibility is not easy as things evolve. Even the pixls.us 
AppImage only works for one invocation of G'MIC when dealing with large 
images. (My bug report is here 
<https://github.com/dtschump/gmic-community/issues/76>.)

I don't know if this info is useful or at all related, but thought I'd 
mention it.
