Thanks for investigating; that's puzzling to me.  Non-repro is useful
additional information, though.

To check my sanity, I followed through the repro steps again.

I agree that '@as []' is written to the 'xkb-options' config entry momentarily
after disabling the Compose Key.

However, a divergence/repro does appear (repeatably) on this system:

After logging out and back in again, the entry has been rewritten:

  $ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options 
  ['compose:lwin']
