dbus-launch is what should set the environment variables, not dbus-daemon
itself. I let you run dbus-daemon to see if something bad happend to it on your
system.

According to your original mail the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is set (Could you
recheck that?) so there shouldn't be a problem connecting to your session bus...

Also please try to re-login if you didn't in the mean time. Maybe the running
session bus is too old.. 

If that doesn't help please send me the output of strace dbus-monitor..
