As Michael Coupet points out, the bug here is that the default background is drawn at all. It's only because another size_allocate signal is received for the background that the user-configured gsettings background is drawn. Here's a clip from the attached greeter log which shows a span of 0.25 seconds between the MainWindow being shown and the correct, user-specified background being drawn (note the "Regenerating backgrounds" message):
