Note that the content is a list of object paths, not a list of strings.

This line above has no effect. What is that supposed to do?

Next time, please attach a fully-compilable, minimal sample code.

What do you mean by hang? Do you mean the function never returns?

I would expect the code above to crash (failed assertion) where you wrote 
"code hangs here".

Nowhere in the D-Bus reply is there a QStringList. Therefore, if you try to 
convert name (whatever that is) to QStringList, you're going to get an empty 
string list. And trying to access the first element in an empty list will get 
you that failed assertion.

I suggest you take a look at QDBusReply and QDBusPendingReply. They are more 
indicated to parse replies.

QDBusReply<QList<QDBusObjectPath> > devices = interface.call("ListDevices");
if (devices.isValid()) {
    foreach (const QDBusObjectPath &o, devices.value()) {
        qDebug() << o.path();
    }
}

I've attached a fully working version tested with ConsoleKit (I don't have 
bluez installed in my workstation).
