I am not convinced this is a bug in gconf.

When you ssh to and X-forward back from another host to run a process,
there is nothing that says that you have a running gnome/gconf
environment on that remote system into which you could store gconf data.
So, arguably, it is correct behavior to use the configuration on your
visual desktop instead of the configuration on the remote server (which
may not exist).
