The only things i can think of is that either the disk was full when dbus was
started (thust causing it to be unable to create the necessary files..) or that
/var/run was read-only. In the first case a more gracefull error would probably
be nice, in the second case it's a user error.

But we definately need more info about this one indeed (especially if it keeps
happening or if it was a onetime thing)
