I'd file a bug on upstream GNOME for this, against gdm or gnome-shell. The screen is part of *gnome-shell*, in fact, not GDM. IIRC and AIUI (put those on my gravestone!), the screen was introduced before gdm became basically a special case of shell - so the screen was written assuming it'd be displayed when a *logged-in session* hit a critical failure. But now gdm *is* just a special case of gnome-shell...it also shows up when a *gdm instance* hits a critical failure. And obviously, as you say, makes very little sense in that case.
