... that's because you're not using "the" session bus (for which SessionBus
is suitable), you're using an entirely different dbus-daemon (which
happens to be someone else's session bus, but the client code doesn't
care). So, don't use SessionBus, use BusConnection directly.

If this still doesn't work when you're using BusConnection, please file a
bug - it ought to work without you having to define a _connection property.

You should be able to do this:

remote_bus = BusConnection(addr, mainloop)
remote_bus.get_object(...)
remote_bus.connect_to_signal(...)
