I'm using 1.9.10-3 without problems on unstable's systemd, so I wonder
whether the problematic upgrade might have been the one to systemd 219
rather than to dbus 1.9.10-3. Also, the largest changes in recent
experimental dbus versions have been to session bus setup, which is much
later than the stage of the boot you're talking about. It might be
informative to try the experimental dbus with the unstable systemd, or
vice versa, to pin down which one caused this regression.

"Lockup" in what sense? Does the computer still respond to Ctrl+Alt+Del,
Ctrl+Alt+F1/F2,  or the "magic sysrq key" (for instance AltGr/right Alt
+ PrintScreen/SysRq + h to show help), or to toggling num lock/caps lock?

Please provide the relevant section of a Journal log from a boot where
this happens, ideally without "quiet" on the kernel command-line.

Which dbus version were you previously using without problems - 1.8.x
from unstable (which one? - apt/dpkg logs would tell you), or an earlier
1.9.x from experimental? Similarly, did you upgrade systemd from
unstable's v215, or from experimental's v218?
