The same is true for anything in /etc/X11/Xsession.d (which is how .gnomerc is connected up) - quite reasonably, because Wayland isn't X, but that does cause problems for users or external packages that rely on Xsession.d for integration glue. The GNOME+Wayland session also doesn't run ~/.xinitrc, or any shell initialization glue (~/.bashrc or whatever). The broader upstream bug is that there's no convenient way to set user-specific environment variables for the session at all: <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736660>.
