Comment (by devans@…):

 Yes, but the error mode has changed from that described.

 In GIMP 2.6, this menu selection used gvfs to access the online web site
 which led to the reported error.  The underlying cause is with gvfs
 (#32652) which still has not been fixed.

 By default, GIMP 2.8 now uses the built-in, webkit-gtk based, help browser
 which successfully accesses the online help server but the URL provided is
 invalid.
 {{{
 Not Found
 The requested URL /2.8/en_US.UTF-8/index.html was not found on this
 server.
 Apache Server at docs.gimp.org Port 80
 }}}

 This is because the online help web site only supports a limited set of
 locales using the two-letter format only.
 For example, to get help in English the proper URL is
 http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/index.html.

 The work around for this is to use the locally installed help (the default
 help preferences setting, which is now relatively up to date, although
 this is only available in English.
