Perhaps that generalisation has merit, perhaps not, but in this case the
fault lies with HP. I note that

– well, the assumption is wrong. LoginUI.exe is in fact a broken
application, part of HP's "personalisation", and it places a broken
version of intl.dll in the Windows system directory. This overrides the
file that GIMP expects to be there.  

If anything, the problem is that GIMP expects the Windows install not to
be screwed up by HP. If you own an HP computer, it might help to
complain to them.

Anyway, if you use PortableGIMP, this comment seems to give a solution:
