I think the bug is around line 940 of tools/dbus-launch.c.  That calls 
x11_get_address() to find an existing DBUS daemon.  If it gets an answer 
it assumes that it is good.

However, the comment for x11_get_address() suggests that this is wrong 
and it must check rather than assuming.

/*
  * Gets the daemon address from the X11 display.
  * Returns FALSE if there was an error. Returning
  * TRUE does not mean the address exists.
  */
