dbus_pending_call_set_notify race

I just found something i think is racy in the dbus API.
I'm calling dbus_connection_send_with_reply(), possibly not on the same
thread as the mainloop. This queues the message for delivery. It also
returns a DBusPendingCall so i can track recieving the message.
However, what if the mainloop gets scheduled and gets a reply before I
call dbus_pending_call_set_notify. Won't this mean I will miss the
callback? Maybe it should detect that case and call the function (from
an idle (==timeout of zero))?
