Also, this change to your test case:

                                                          const
ByteArray = imports.byteArray;

                                                          // log to
stdout and write new file as gedit-out.desktop
                                                          let [data,
datalen] = keyfile.to_data();
                                                          let array =
ByteArray.fromString(data);
                                                          log(data);
                                                          log(datalen);
                                                          let success
= GLib.file_set_contents(here + '/gedit-out.desktop', array, -1);
                                                          log(success);

seems to work around the bug (in case you'd rather not rewrite in python)
