Ah, you don't have a dbus instance running for your user.

This is usually started when you run a graphical session, e.g. directly
by your session manager or by
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch

So I assume that explains why it works when run under uxterm, as you had
a graphical X session.

E.g. I get:

$ ps ux | grep systemd
michael   1994  0.0  0.0  47168  5172 ?        Ss   01:59   0:00
/lib/systemd/systemd --user
michael   2044  0.0  0.0  43612  4800 ?        Ss   01:59   0:00
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --session --address=systemd: --nofork --nopidfile
--systemd-activation


systemctl as unprivileged user requires a running system dbus daemon to
access the system instance of systemd and a user dbus daemon to access
the user instance of systemd.
