I'm happy to report that after applying this patch on top of 
94600c3960d7e2f12a3a9b6d2ed0d98ddacdd055 (i.e. with gnome-initial-setup 
still part of the gnome meta-package), reconfiguring, and rebooting, 
everything works as expected. GDM starts up, and after I log it, I'm 
presented with the initial setup wizard.

Thanks everyone,
Jack
