You can't expect backwards compatibility of different software major
versions.

Good software is backwards compatible within all minor versions of a
particular major version. IOW x.0 to x.n usually are backwards
compatible, but often backwards compatibility breaks among different
major releases. That y.0 to y.n isn't backwards compatible to x.0 to
x.n is ok.

Regarding dconf vs gconf, this is another issue, since the binary
approach is a step into the wrong direction anyway.

Perhaps you can write a script to export from gconf to dconf and vice
versa.
