Yes, ~/Pictures/Photos exists and contains lots and lots of photos from before Shotwell went senile ;)
I guess one detail I didn't mention is that _some_ folders in my home folder are symlinks to a larger hard drive (while everything else lives on an SSD). ~/Pictures and ~/Pictures/Photos, however, are not: they live completely on the SSD.
Playing with it now, it does seem to have stopped immediately reverting my changes to import-dir in dconf: it stays set to /home/dylan/Pictures/Photos when I start Shotwell, and it appears to do the right thing. However, Preferences still shows "Import photos to (None)".
