When you export as a GIF, and once you have clicked "As animation" you have a bunch of options. One of them is "Frame disposal where unspecified", make sure it is set to "On frame per layer (replace)".
Alternatively you can rename each frame with a name that ends with (replace) (including the parentheses).
Another option is to use Filters>Animation>Optimize (for GIF). This restricts layers to the minimum neceesary to carry chnages between frames, using either replace or combine. The resulting GIF is usually smaller.
Also, don't be surprised if you discover that your animation has jagged edges, this is due to the lack of partial transparency in the GIF format (and may explain why your initial GIF has a background).
