I am thinking that the walnuts might be a texture issue. Cooked pears could tend to taste like baby food if overcooked. Having the walnuts insures a variation in texture, that is, if that is what they are in there for intentionally.. Thats just my take on it. Toasted walnuts do have a unique flavor, as do all nuts when toasted. But if you dislike them, or will die if you eat them, im sure that you could omit them.
And yea, I agree with pears and ginger being a great combination of flavors. I did a poached pear tart the other night with candied ginger as a garnish, it was awesome.
