They don't modify the image itself, as simply redrawing it makes the images to disappear. This is does not occur with version 2.2 of Gimp, and one of the developers told me that the drawing color changed between the versions, as well as the way Gdk implements the draw.

I can't reproduce the problem with xserver-xorg-core and libs from
unstable and xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.6.193-1 and gimp 2.3.19-1 from
experimental. Could you try these versions?
Or, give me more details on how to reproduce? What I did is create an
image with white background, click on "airbrush tool", choose a filled
circle brush and draw random black filled circles.
