I am fairly certain that by default, dconf-editor does not crash when
using gnome-desktop-service-type (i.e. the "default" configuration). 
Now fair enough, it might still break in the way you described *outside
of gnome*, but in any case, propagating inputs is no solution and in
this case, you're breaking cross-compilation to rely on a side effect.
The package you do want is most likely gsettings-desktop-schemas, and I
think it ought to be possible to fix dconf-editor without propagating
it.

Cheers
