I have now reproduced the original issue twice:

  Settings schema 'org.gnome.mutter.wayland' does not contain a key named 'xwayland-allow-byte-swapped-clients'

What happened was that gnome-shell 42.9 got SIGKILL'd (along with all other user processes). And after that the system tries to restart it as gnome-shell 46.0 which isn't fully installed/configured.

The SIGKILL seems to have come from a systemd restart. I did say yes to automatically restarting services, so maybe I shouldn't have?
