Desktop effects are disabled.
Is there a additional compiz setting to bind gnome-screenshot on the print key?

I can recreate this with desktop effects disabled too. Assigning to Metacity

Is there a workaraound?
How can I prevent gnome-screenshot from getting the print key signal?
Instead the current focused application should receive the signal.

Thank you for your bug report. Do you have desktop effects enabled? (Check in System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual effects tab). If so, could you please try disabling it and trying again. It might be that you Compiz is still calling gnome-screenshot because desktop integration might be disabled for some reason.
