May be, but the patch for fixing that isn't what's posted here.

Here's the thing: We _want_ system bus connections (and also
dbus_bus_get_id()) to fail in %post otherwise real packaging bugs
assuming a running system bus won't be found until very late.

That does not mean that dbus_error_init() should fail as libdbus.so can
be used for peer connections and private buses (which should be allowed
in %post).
