As you already know, this is the canonical address and has not been
changed by the dbus maintainers[1]. I don't think we should change
this until dbus itself has moved over.

I'm not familiar with SELinux, but this string you have reported is
never used to create a file AFAICT. Systemd (sd-bus, actually) only
uses this to attempt connecting to the system dbus daemon. Is it still
a problem in this case?
