Thanks for the report. This very much look like a duplicate of bug 794752 (though your traces have less details, so I cannot be 100% sure). How did you install GIMP? Did you build it yourself? If so, you probably installed mypaint-brushes v2 (master branch), not the version 1, which should not happen. Did you tweak our configure script (or mypaint-brushes pkg-config file) to force the brushes v2 being accepted as v1? Or if you installed from an Arch package, could you please open a bug report and ask them if they did what I am telling above (installed mypaint-brushes v2, i.e. the master branch, and not the v1.3.0 branch as requested in our INSTALL file)? If you open a bug report, please post the link here, if possible! Thanks!
Jehan, your comments led me to a resolution. Installing from AUR did not pull in libmypaint 1.3.0 but only mypaint-brushes. I went back and installed libmypaint from AUR and Gimp now starts normally. This seems to be more an Arch packaging issue rather than a Gimp bug. Thanks a lot for your speedy response, much appreciated!

Can I suggest to open a bug report to Arch then so that they can fix the packaging bug? :-) > Thanks a lot for your speedy response, much appreciated! No prob. Thanks for the report! :-)
