I tried gconftool --recursive-unset in /apps/aisleriot and now it seems
to work fine for both 2.16 and 2.22. I am attaching gconftool --dump
/apps/aisleriot before and after running --recursive-unset for
reference, it looks like their contents are different. So yes, maybe
something was screwed in my gconf. If you guys can't reproduce, feel
free to close this bug report, you'll be better than me at finding
upgrade problems anyway.

We lost our previous scores, but at least the new/resetted score works
fine now, so it's not that bad.
