I have a feeling this has to do with the shm file in the xdg runtime directory. This is how the service signals to clients that the database has changed and needs to be re-opened (otherwise they will continue to use the old copy). If this is not being shared correctly between the snap and the outside work (different XDG_RUNTIME_DIR setting?) then dconf isn't going to report changes properly.
