Using 2.20.4-1 in Testing, I could not repro that bug. Only thing is,
gdmsetup does not like a non-existant gdm.conf:

gdmsetup[9574]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_set_string: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed
gdmsetup[9574]: GLib-CRITICAL: g_key_file_to_data: assertion `key_file != NULL' failed

I think, it could handle that sitation more gracefully ;-)
