Thanks for the reply. I understand that GIMP needs volunteers to fix bugs. However, this one is so pernicious that I'm surprised that whoever originally added the EXIF support (if they are still around) hasn't jumped on this.
Thanks for the suggestion regarding exiftool. I use it daily and have written many tools to automate its use. The only problem with your suggestion is that, when working with JPG images, there often isn't an "original" such as a RAW file to work from. I already do most of my in-place editing (adjusting contrast, sharpness, cropping, etc.) prior to adding EXIF comments, but occasionally I return to an existing image to make an additional tweak (for example, if it was cropped wrong after a rotation and a corner is showing) and when saved, the EXIF comments are silently obliterated. I could make sidecar EXIF files for the images to be edited and restore from that (I already wrote a utility to do this) but it's a PITA and you have to remember to do it before editing.
There is nothing wrong with GIMP reading and writing out the EXIF data so long as it isn't destructive. Unfortunately , it is!
