I'm not quite sure where to write a regression test for this: its
totally contingent on your config files and hence what daemon is
running. This does get got in the tests for me: If you have a daemon
running already and run "bus-test", it does fail for me (starting with
the call to AcquireService). The basic problem is that the allow all
that should be active on the session bus isn't "taking".

If I add this:
    <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.DBus"/>
    <allow receive_sender="org.freedesktop.DBus"/>

To session.conf file... I can make calls to org.freedesktop.DBus
(including AcquireService).

Christophe Fergeau (who also sees this) thinks it was caused by the "Get
matching rules mostly working in the bus" commit. Unfortunately a little
pressed for time as of late, but I'll look into debugging more deeply if
the problem is still extant this weekend.
