I launched the GIMP in the terminal, and when you press F1, it displays the following lines:
openjdk version "1.8.0_102"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_102-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.102-b14, mixed mode)
Changing the pages' tags:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
to
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
fixes the issue.
As I'm the actual maintainer of the gimp-help-* packages I could apply some patches to the html pages (let me know in such case) but there's some strange issue in gtkwebkit in rendering those pages in both devhelp and gimp help navigator.
><!DOCTYPE html>

I confirm it works.
