It worked!

Should these be added as search-paths in the transmission package
definition?

What is the desired effect of setting XDG_CONFIG_DIRS that way? Aren't
those directories still read-only?

There is also the warning message:
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not 
be saved or shared with other applications.

... but that is simply not true. The settings are saved as expected
under ~/.config/transmission
