SOLVED
For some reason, dconf was attempting to save settings in
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/dconf/profile/user which was only writable by root,
removing this file made dconf work correctly.
I discovered this by doing an strace on the dconf command:
strace -o trace dconf write /org/blueman/transfer/shared-path
"'/home/me/download/bluetooth'"
then grepping the output for files opened:
grep openat trace
This line was the clue:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/lib/snapd/desktop/dconf/profile/user", O_RDONLY) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
