I just now (just now!) realized there is an option to choose between default and legacy paint modes. I never gave it a moment of thought and was trying to figure out what was going wrong for quite awhile.
Also, Gimp 2.9 correctly correctly blurs in sRGB mode without having to convert to linear light, so long as the paint mode is 2.9 default. It also works correctly in 8 bit. Things like pattern stamping are also affected. I can't imagine any reason why I would use the old 2.8 modes anymore.
