Thanks for reconfirming.  I now believe (and have updated upstream) that the
cause was a 'XKBOPTIONS="compose:lwin"' entry in the '/etc/default/keyboard'
file.

Removing the XKBOPTIONS line produces the results I expected: disabling the
compose key takes effect within both the current session and subsequent GNOME
login sessions.

I'll continue to investigate the cause; it is OK to close this bug if you like.
