Your demo is very nice, but does not begin to address my problem.
My distribution is Slackware.
I have been using Gimp for almost 20 years, with releases 1.2, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, 2.8.
I am describing new behaviour with 2.10.
1. select the rectangular selection tool
2. from the drop-down menu, Select => "All"
3. ensure "Expand from centre" is selected
4. ensure "Fixed" aspect ratio is selected (any value here, but "Current" will suffice)
5. click once on the image to activate the selection
6. The position fields now read 0,0. DO NOT enter any values here
7. In "Size" manually input (in either box) any value smaller than is displayed
8. "Enter"
9a. Expected behaviour, true of all previous releases before 2.10: the selection box is reduced in size on a common centre.
9b. New behaviour with 2.10, the selection box is produced at the proper dimensions but the centre is now offset from the original position in both horizontal and vertical dimensions.
