Yes, makes no difference.

Also makes no difference.

However, I managed to find a way to workaround and reproduce it:

I moved the dconf settings in /var/lib/gdm3 (the Debian-gdm user's home) 
aside, and restarted gdm. This made it work again.

Next, I enabled the OSK in the greeter's accessibility menu. On restart 
it crashed again. So it seems having the OSK enabled in gsettings/dconf 
when gdm starts makes it crash.
