I have seen issues with GG, gg, when the page has multiple "elements" (Frames?)
I AM surprised that j/k work but not GG/gg, but can't test my theory without a page to try it on...
Try changing the cursor "focus", i.e. clicking on various parts of the screen, then try GG/gg. If it then WORKS, this means there is NO bug in vimperator, but rather the GG/gg are being applied to the wrong element of the web page.
