Given the number of cases where I have seen this since the introduction
of gconf-schemas (maybe 2 or 3 in 2 years) and the number of packages
using it (almost 200), I think they are caused either by a very rare and
subtle bug, or simply by hardware issues or filesystem corruption.

Yes, I'll add a --register-all option in gconf-schemas to that effect.
