Beautify plugin ART > Life Sketch causes error in (Windows 10 / GIMP 2.10.30) libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll

In fact any Beautify effect fails the same way.

[url=https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8060#environmentversions][/url]Environment/Versions

• GIMP version: 2.10.30
  
• Package: installer from gimp.org
  
• Operating System: Windows 10 21H2 (19044.1586)  64 bit
  

Have used this plugin in the past without any issues.
Noticed the error in GIMP 2.10.28 so updated to 2.10.30 but same error.
The preview pane in Beautify appears alright, but when I OK the effect I get the error message.  

Plug-in crashed: "beautify.exe"
