Bug#490345: To clarify, epiphany is being invoked from update-manager, which I think is invoked as root

I suggest then that you file a new bug against update-manager, which
should not try to open URIs as root directly. It should at the very
least re-use the d-bus environment to open a new browser window, but in
the end the browser process should never belong to root. (Of course
PolicyKit will handle such things much better.)
