This is a bug with GIMP, obviously.
The solution is to avoid GIMP setting itself as a PDF viewer: GIMP is not a viewer.
If the user wants so, then it'd be up to her to change settings.

Title:
  GIMP set as default pdf viewer

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gimp

  After installing GIMP on Lucid, GIMP became the default application to
  open PDF files, instead of evince. While GIMP can open PDF files, this
  surely is not what most people want. Please fix this.

  May be related to debian bug #525077, but I am not sure.

  In any case, /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache contains
  application/pdf=gimp.desktop;evince.desktop;
