GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 697130
gsettings CLI command has no way of retrieving the default value for a certain key

The same way there is a "gsettings get" there should be a "gsettings get-default" or just "gsettings default" for a certain key. In my opinion, this is a necessary feature. Also, I am experiencing this on latest version available on Ubuntu 12.10, but because there's no "--version" I'm not sure which version that is, so I reported this on "git master".
