The crash turns out to be due to a combination of several things:

* the authd patches were disabled in latest src:gnome-shell, including the 
definition of the missing key (presumably to make migration easier)
* the binary gnome-shell package could not upgrade through simple `apt upgrade` 
due to some transition
* the interdependency between gnome-shell (which has the crashing code) and 
gnome-shell-common (which holds the gsettings definitions) isn't using (= 
${binary:Version}) but rather a manually defined boundary (>= 47~rc).

So I ended up with a partially upgraded system.

IMHO, not having a strict equality bound on this kind of relationship is
a straight bug.
