And here's more:

4. If it's true that a client can create a proxy on an object behind an
un-activated service's connection (as Raphaël's Activation Tutorial says),
why does the D-BUS Tutorial's section on the Python binding say that one
of the two ways of listening for a signal, which uses a proxy, requires
the service to be active first?

5. Again, if it's true that a service doesn't get activated until a method
on one of its objects is invoked, how does the caller get to the right
interface on that object?

I'm beginning to think that I'm missing something important about the
Activation Tutorial...
