In directory "GIMPPortable\Data\.gimp\interpreters\" create file named "pygimp.interp" with this text:
python=..\Python\pythonw.exe
/usr/bin/python=..\Python\pythonw.exe
:Python:E::py::python:
You've made my day!
Can a couple folks confirm this does work? If so, I'll release a patch and include it by default in the next release.

This file works with absolute paths, and the launcher should handle them. When I get home this evening, I'll check why it isn't. I think k know why.
Sorry, I have tried the proposed patch, but it does not seem to resolve the issue, at least with regards to the preinstalled Python interpreter.
Try this
1. Replace App\AppInfo\Launcher\GIMPPortable.ini with this file

2. Create a new empty file name pygimp.interp under App\gimp\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters folder
I did a check and can confirm that with this fetch Python-Fu console and relevant scripts/plugins are finally available from the GUI.
It works for me also.
Thank you!
The python support files are now properly created and maintained in today's release.
