Why are they changing this? The arrow script issue wasn't a gimp bug. Do you have a link to the issue that was raised requesting it?

If this only applied to the arrow script I would add code to work around this but the problem also seems to affect using the standard GIMP Stroke Path dialog. Also the standard Stroke Selection suffers from the same problem.
Hardly suprising, change the coordinates and there will be consequences, possibly more than you have found so far. Not to mention the many plugins that were handling the layer offset correctly will become broken.

I don't fancy using different coordinates depending on how I stroke the path.
