..I have NO idea how either GIMP, or my OS, could have torqued itself into such a state; I fire up GIMP from the command-line and don't see much in the way of complaint when it loads (aside from the complaints that certain 2.x filter conventions spell doom for those filters in 3.x), and nothing helpful when RandomDensityMap fails.
I suppose the prognosis is to un/re install GIMP 2.10 in my current OS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
There is even less reason to re-install Gimp in linux than there is in Windows. Rarely does any good.
You are using random_density_map.scm version 1 - (any one interested can get it from here:
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=530&start=10)
...but the filter you posted is version 2.1 Difference is easily seen in the dialog. Both versions can be installed, they both register individually in /Filters/Map

Using Gimp 2.10.14 / (k)ubuntu 18.04: A try out of version 1 does fail part way through. As far as I can tell it is the random location section. It does work with Gimp 2.8 Maybe it can be fixed by one of the clever guys but better to use the later version.
Back to your linux installation. Why the (on alfred) designation? Are you using a networked Gimp ?
However: Linux is provided with a search function. In a terminal try
find / -type f -iname "*random_density_map*.*"
Which (hopefully) will find the file(s) in your home folder. You might need to expand the search, this for example is my home + a data partition.
