I've managed to work around this by deleting that setting from the file using the crudini tool for performing CRUD operations on INI files. I am not sure whether the output format of dconf dump is valid INI, but crudini can handle it just fine.

Example:

dconf dump / > dconf.settings
crudini --del dconf.settings 'org/gnome/shell' 'app-picker-layout'
dconf2nix -i dconf.settings -o dconf.settings.nix

I used sed:
