With advisory/solution at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=572027#c5

"gconf-sanity-check-2 always expects there to be a
/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system directory, irrespective of whether /etc is really
the GConf sysconfdir value."

commited to 2.26 without a bump. Thanks for reporting and finding the upstream report.
