I suspect it might be something that has been left out in the rebase to 
GDM 3.28.1 - an earlier change log for GDM has:

* Thu Jun 25 2015 Ray Strode <rstrode at redhat.com> 3.14.2-4
- Make sure user customizations to gdm via /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d
   continue to work following rebase.

So, I'm guessing that something similar was left out with this change 
from 3.26 to 3.28 ?

Maybe a bug report to https://bugzilla.redhat.com is needed ?
