Aha, interesting problem. The way the bindings work is the interface
name is derived from package.interface of the DBusInterfaces you
export. In this case, since there is no package the interface is simply
'TestSignalInterface'. However, D-Bus enforces that interface names must
have at least one '.' in them, IE, you cannot have them in the top level
package.

This is something I'd not really realized and so haven't documented or
have any checks with more informative error messages in. I shall add
them now I've noticed, thanks (-:

If you move TestSignalInterface into a package then it works.
