It seems broken again on current Jaunty.

Steps to reproduce:

Xorg gets DPI from EDID:
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (85, 86); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config
(--) NVIDIA(0): option

Appearances shows 96 DPI. Setting it to 96 keeps the default size, setting it to 86 makes the fonts smaller.

"gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi" removes the default 96 DPI, the fonts get smaller (same size as manually setting to 86).

After logging out and in, the fonts are back to the default size (96).
