I think the change didn't do what was intended here. The 'none' setting should end up with compress only in the config which isn't happening now.
It needs to go back the way it was, I don't see a bug with the old behavior. Maybe the user didn't understand what this option is supposed to do.
Most likely they wanted "Omit Preference" -- which is not the same as this option.

I reverted the change here, since it wasn't correct.

No problems on current snapshots that I can see, with the proper combinations of settings.
