Actually, the line at fault appears to be in the gdbus utility
(gdbus-tool.c) rather than anything to do with the library:

      g_printerr (_("Error: %s\n"), error->message);

so either form would work.

All the g_printerr() calls in that file have the same problem of not
providing the context of "who said that?" when gdbus is used
noninteractively.
