Greetings, Geert:

I did some poking around and found out the following:

610> gsettings list-keys org.gnucash.dialogs.tip-of-the-day
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings 
will not be saved or shared with other applications.
last-geometry
611> gsettings get org.gnucash.dialogs.tip-of-the-day last-geometry
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings 
will not be saved or shared with other applications.
(-1, -1, -1, -1)

The only key present is last-geometry. current-tips and show-at-startup 
are missing. There are values for them in my 
~/.gconf/dialogs/tip_of_the_day/%gconf.xml file:

460> cat %*
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
         <entry name="window_position" mtime="1307765879" type="list" 
ltype="int">
                 <li type="int" value="437"/>
                 <li type="int" value="335"/>
         </entry>
         <entry name="window_geometry" mtime="1307765879" type="list" 
ltype="int">
                 <li type="int" value="400"/>
                 <li type="int" value="300"/>
         </entry>
         <entry name="show_at_startup" mtime="1307765876" type="bool" 
value="false"/>
         <entry name="current_tip" mtime="1307765874" type="int" value="1"/>
</gconf>

Note that the migration script doesn't list any groups via "Processing 
preferences in group" message in
/usr/share/gnucash/make-prefs-migration-script.xsl:

466> strace -f /bin/gnucash --nofile 2> /tmp/c
Preference migration has finished

Even though the file(s) for migration were created during startup:
