I have received more explanations from Ryan Lortie, and it might not be as simple as “a bug in the X server”; although the problem probably lies in the interaction between the Xsettings manager and the X server, it might not be possible to actually fix it on the X side (which would mean the Xsettings specification has a design flaw). IMHO more testing is required before involving X people. You might want to reassign this to gdm3 in the meantime, since although this is not a bug in gdm3, it is the package that exhibits it. -- .''`.
