There's actually a HUGELY simple fix for this.

The error message given indicates that xorg.conf is failing to validate
because "Screen"  doesn't reference a device, basically.

You can fix this by adding this line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, under Section "Screen":
        Device          "Default Device"

(where "Default Device" is a name already used in xorg.conf, under
Section "Device")

After adding this single line, nvidia-settings can save to xorg.conf
just fine.
