That seems to be the case for me too:

oscar at hibbert:~$ sudo ls -la .cache/dconf/
total 20
drwx------  2 root  root  4096 mar 30 14:54 .
drwx------ 26 oscar oscar 4096 apr  4 23:43 ..
-rw-------  1 root  root     2 apr  1 06:58 user

Are you sure these are not intended to be owned by root? As far as I 
know there a re no (serious) issues on my system.
