This method does work. Details as follows:

Open akovia’s Path-Overlap.xcf file (which is 800x310 px)

Export the “Path” path as PathOverlap1.svg

Open PathOverlap1.svg in Inkscape. Set units to px. It is now 1067x413 px !

In Inkscape, do Path > Union

In Inkscape, Save As PathOverlap2.svg

In Gimp, Open PathOverlap2.svg. (That is opening this svg as a new image) In the dialogue, set W & H to 800 & 310. Check “Import paths”

This new image has a path called “Path”. Drag this path to the original  Path-Overlap.xcf
