I have further edited my settings in Compiz Place Windows plugin, so that the preferences dialog is not affected. The "positioned windows" line now reads
(class=Guake.py) & !(title=Guake Preferences)
This will position the Guake terminal window at the top, while leaving the preferences window in the centre
