Where did you find it? You will need to file a bug there.
That I have done.
I suspect it's related to Apples threat to Plank developers over use
of the icon zoom property
which the fruit company has apparently patented ?? Plank is reported
to have removed the zoom option,
This is why software patents need to be eliminated:

(Patent number 7,434,177)
Is there a work around? I don't particularly care about the zoom
function eye-candy but
it would be nice to be able to use the settings app.
Until upstream fixes the app, you can either edit the python code to
remove that part or modify the schema file to include that setting.

I edited the schema file, which I then recompiled and it now works.
No actual zoom as I suspect
the authors pulled that part of the code.
Thanks
