My gimp build, when asked for the obvious (built-in) documenation, gives

When started with "gimp --console-messages" the console window remains open
and the redirection works as expected. The shortcut "-c" (for console
messages?) seems to be not implemented, at least not in gimp/app/main.c
where the other command line parameters are declared.
Beware though, that this kind of redirection requires gimp to be build as a
"console application" rather than a "windows application". I don't know if
the 'official' build of gimp for windoze still is.
If you are only interested in the registration process (and don't need a
graphical interface) you also can try to run "gimp-console" rather than
"gimp". The plug-in intialization process is supposed to be the same.
