Yes, it's a bug, as per the doc:

"If you open a bus connection with dbus_connection_open() or
dbus_connection_open_private() you will have to dbus_bus_register()
yourself, or make the appropriate registration method calls yourself."

the constructor should call it and it doesn't, this hasn't come up
earlier because only the 'default' buses were being used.

I'm afraid that's still on TODO.

thanks for your investigation,
