I now have a workable answer - files used to store pix for GIMP should be anywhere but in OneDrive.

Any ideas why jpg and png behave differently in OneDrive

Microsoft's Ways Are Unfathomable.

Perhaps they have JPG on a  white list of "safe" types (or PNG on a black list). Try to save/load other types (XCF, PDF, PS, GIF, Webp, BMP, TGA) to/from the same place and see those that are allowed and those that are rejected.
