 If this change is implemented in GEGL, does that mean it will make it
 into 2.6?

Probably not as it seems rather unlikely that we will start to use GEGL
for the layer modes in 2.6 already.

 If not, wouldn't it make more sense to allow Jesper to improve 2.6,
 then port it to GEGL (and remove the non-CMS aware version)?

We don't want the core to depend on lcms. Also there are some other
problems here, such as that we can not change a layer mode as that would
break backwards compatibility.

 I have been looking into bug #325564 the past few days and I know how
 this should be solved, and I'm looking for advice on how best to
 implement this in GIMP.

The best thing you can do at this point is to look at GEGL and make sure
that it does these things right and that all the layer modes we need are
made available as GEGL operators. The sooner this happens the sooner we
can switch to GEGL and get all this fixed. I don't think it makes sense
to even attempt to fix it in GIMP. It would be pretty much a waste of
time to work on this legacy code that is scheduled for removal.
