The problem seems to be related to GSettings simply not recognising
that key at all:

    $ gsettings get "org.gnome.nautilus.preferences" "default-sort-order"
    'name'
    $ gsettings get "org.gnome.nautilus.preferences" "enable-delete"
    No such key 'enable-delete'

So the solution will entail restoring that ability in Nautilus, by
reading the existing configuration setting at that key to honour
user's expressed preference.
