Oh, alright.

Yes, I now see why this is causing a problem for you (see end of post)

This isn't true. You have to specify an opacity value for every new
layer created in Gimp. XSane creates a new layer => XSane specifies
an opacity value, it uses 100 (should probably be 100.0) in fact.
Unfortunately, for say, German users, it sends this in the "wrong"
format to be understood by Gimp, which is using the "C" locale.

Nope, Gimp is working just fine thanks :)
The fix for XSane is to turn off LC_NUMERIC localisation while talking
over the wire to Gimp, the simplest way to achieve this is to add
#include <locale.h>
... in the appropriate place ...
and add a line which says...
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "C");
soon after gtk_init() only when Gimp is being used, perhaps at the
start of the #ifdef'd group soon after you call gtk_init().
All other Gimp plug-ins seem to have this happen automatically, but
I think you're the only one to call gtk_set_locale() from inside a
Gimp plug-in AFAIK.
Maybe I should ask gimp-devel for a better WIRE protocol for Gimp,
but I think that would be a 2.0 request not something for 1.2.0
