I just installed Gimp 2.8.6 on 2013-07-03 and i have this problem as well as crashing when in Text Mode. It seems that if a file name already exists it will "save as" to that name - At least it did it once today. Also, it works OK on my windoze machine. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the machine that crashes.
