The "highlight border" is the anti-aliasing pixels, that have an intermediate color between the subject and the background. To obtain a proper cut:
- select the background with the magic wand - "Select/Grow" the selection by two pixels - Use "Colors/Color to alpha" and the the background color as the color to remove

This will remove the background, and make the antilaliasing pixels partially transparent.

Thank you for helping. I try

To put another color in the background:

- add a new layer
- move it under your subject
- bucket-fill with the required color

The partially transparent border pixels obtained above will create the proper color blend for a smooth border.
