I have been searching for how best to close a path where an end node is on top
of a start node.
One work-around is to not place the end node on the start node, so that the
path can be closed in the usual way, and then move what had been intended to be
the end node on top of the start node. This hack will create a path segment
between the start end and nodes with the expected zero values, but it will be a
closed path.
Not closing path nodes may not always create an issue when using paths to
generate bitmapped images, but it may when e.g. stroking paths, and the
otherwise unnecessary data can be a tad messy when exporting paths.
Another workaround (good for OCD types) is perhaps to place the end node on the
start node, export and edit the path data adding a close-path flag, and then
import it back into Gimp.
If you are doing this in a script:
* copy the backwards tangent of the last node to the first node
* drop the last node and its tangent handles
* mark the stroke closed
