Ah, ok, thanks for the info. Nevertheless, as far as I can see, 'make install'
installs the org.freedesktop.Avahi.service file in the directory configured
with --with-systemdsystemunitdir, and doesn't install it without a
--with-systemdsystemunitdir. And if I have it installed in
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services, things work (and don't work, if I don't have
it installed).

I tried to reverse-apply the patch mentioned in #590760 and that helps, too.
So, I agree, it's probably the same issue as in #590760.

I got sidetracked into believing the *.service file is missing by the error
message I got in avahi_client_new when it calls dbus_bus_start_service_by_name:
I got a DBusError there with
  Name: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown
  Message: The name org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

If I can provide further info, please feel free to ask.
