If that is not the case, then I tend to think that GIMP is doing something with the profile. If you were requested to keep the original profile or convert to another one and kept the original one... then I don't know :) In GIMP, consider investigating Image -> Color Management -> Assign Color Profile (or Image Properties) and see what profile is associated with that picture and if differs from the profile you choose when exporting from DT. Other than issues with color management I don't have any plausible explanation for what you are experiencing.
