messagebus AF_UNIX listening socket

Is the messagebus listening on UNIX socket '\x00/tmp/dbus-Iv42EWtOTH' + 
'\x00' * 87 (yes! 87 NULL bytes) on purpose?

I think that anybody seeing
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-Iv42EWtOTH,guid=7a3ced42fbeeaf14bbafceecee692d00
would expect that the socket is named "/tmp/dbus-Iv42EWtOTH" and pass 
"\x00/tmp/dbus-Iv42EWtOTH" to connect()
