Feeling suitably responsible for this breakage, I looked into it. The
following two patches, one for meson in OE-Core and the other for dconf
in meta-oe seem to address the problem. I'm not entirely sure they're
correct but they don't actually change the library binary so its
probably fine whilst upstream sorts it out.

If they look ok to you I'll submit them "properly".
