Is that just not the way the tool works? Very obvious when using few control points: example https://i.imgur.com/RK6PmMw.jpg
You might get a better result using the Warp tool, maybe constrained with a feathered selection but needs care: https://i.imgur.com/PJVgUvi.jpg
The cage transform tool actually worked excellently for my purposes. Given all the folds of fabric, the warp tool wasn't going to have a believable result. I took a screenshot of the original image as well as the final result in GIMP so you can see why I used the tool I did, and how it worked for me.

Hopefully this will clear up the confusion about my initial question. As you can see, the screenshot from the GIMP session does not show the artifacts that end up in the exported image.
