But the mini version does not allow a non-zero nail parameter.
mini-gmp/README warns about this difference.

You are right. Some functions of mini-gmp was not tested by the testsuite,
in particular there were some bugs in mpz_{import,export}. The code in the
development branch should be much cleaner now. It is not released yet, but
if you want you can test the last snapshot from
ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/snapshot/

Thanks for your report,
