Yes, I just had a quick scan through the code and I can confirm that
gnome-session only searches for desktop files in
$XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications for launchers of components that are
specified in "/desktop/gnome/session/required_components", so it
wouldn't find gnome-wm.desktop - resulting in the error you see.
However, gnome-session still scans $XDG_DATA_DIRS/gnome/autostart and
$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/autostart when building the list of applications to
start, so gnome-wm still gets autostarted. Therefore, I agree that
gnome-wm.desktop should probably be installed to
/usr/share/applications, but this is a low importance bug.
