Attempting to save to Dropbox-synced folder always fails, leaves messy goutputstream temp files

Description of the bug
I have been using GIMP with Dropbox for years but suddenly with a new GIMP install it has begun failing when I attempt to save. Every failed save attempt seems to leave a goutputstream temp file that is never cleaned up. I am working around this by alternative save file names (A version, B version, etc.), but this is unbelievably inconvenient. Any temporary advice to avoid this - beside disabling Dropbox, which has saved my work life more than once - would be appreciated.
