I am experiencing the same error message with Heal Selection on GIMP 2.10.8 in Windows 7 and would like to add a bit of info here to, hopefully, assist in trouble shooting.
I've been playing around with this for an hour and I think I've figured out the issue. What was confusing me was that the issue seems to be intermittent in that the plug will work fine in one spot on an image but then, in a second spot on the same image, it will fail. Also, it seemed I was having more issues on certain JPEG files than others.
So, I think that, in my case, at least, the problem was that if I make a small selection and have the "feather edges" radius set too high, the plug fails. I don't have time for more testing right now but, so far, it seems like decreasing the radius or turning off the feather edges feature makes the problem go away.
Cheers.
