Yep:
if test x$enable_verbose_mode = xyes; then
echo "NOTE: building with verbose mode increases library size,
may slightly increase security risk, and decreases performance."

Basically the default configure.in settings are intended for a
production build in a distribution package. Probably distributions
should not be changing the settings for things like assertions,
verbosity, etc. unless they want to see "issues"
It's possible we should split dbus_verbose into a dbus_debug and a
dbus_log, and use dbus_log for only a few useful things:
- log each message and where it was sent/rejected and why
- log security policy processing so people can debug/develop
policies
- log any errors
Then dbus_log could be enabled in production builds. Patches
welcome! ;-)
