Comment 1 for bug 1094198

The [%General] group name is actually correct. 'general' is a special group as far as QSettings is concerned, so it changes it to %General and will change it back on load.

The problem (in my case) is a 'custom/display footer' setting inside the '[Custom]' group which won't load. I think this was from an old bug with this setting long since fixed, but the setting still exists in my registry.
