At the moment if Compiz starts with different settings to Gnome then it uses the Gnome one instead of its own. You are suggesting that Compiz should copy its settings over the top of org.gnome.*.

I think that might be a bad idea because org.gnome.* is user-wide and has no sense of profiles. That copy will break the user's Gnome shell/classic settings, and not just apply to Compiz. So I think the current behaviour makes more sense for Compiz to only ever write to its own profile settings, but read from either Gnome (if available) or its own profile.

There might be other reasoning for the current behaviour... Sam?
