Sorry, I don't have a solution, but I can confirm the problem. 
It has been there for a long time (since GTK 2.16 or earlier).

When I first came across the issue I tried messing with the 
GTK_UNIT_* arguments till I was blue in the face, to no avail. 
I also tried inserting debugging statements much like yours, 
but couldn't work exactly where the problem lay. Eventually I 
just gave up on using GtkPrintOperation on Windows. I hope you 
have better luck!
