I dug around a bit, tracing where the subpixel value goes and it seems the problem is within Cairo or at least the subpixel_order value arrives safe and sound in the cairo_font_options_set_subpixel_order() call after going through gconf, xsettings and then back into Gtk. No idea yet what goes wrong after that.
