Looks like I made some progress :

receiving such a destroy event seems related to me not calling 
dbus_g_thread_init(), I was calling g_thread_init instead.

While I agree i did the wrong thing, there was not a single warning 
before this exit. I've spent one full day to find it.

Can someone please confirm if an inconsistency is detected (due to 
multithreading) that dbus will exit?
