Joshua:
as described in comment 22, nvidia-settings crashes if there is no "ServerLayout" section in the xorg.conf. There's nothing wrong in the xorg.conf as the lack of that section perfectly legal (otherwise the xserver won't start).

In my workaround I simply make sure that an empty "ServerLayout" section is created (if it doesn't exist) so that it can be populated with certain details (e.g. "Screen 0" RightOf "Screen 1", etc.).

I have contacted upstream (i.e. NVIDIA) about this problem.
