It's intended to be a fix for glib having it wrong. There are a pile
o' old threads on this for sure. Not a new issue. I knew the debian
stuff was patched, there's some long bug discussion in the debian bug
tracker iirc, where someone is wrong on the internet.

The abort would have been better in this case, because no question
about DBusError would have come up. It would have just been clear, the
program is buggy, fix it.

Anyway if you change this behavior it'll just go in more circles, it's
a bikeshed issue that's been beaten to death, imo. No point changing
it every 3 years.
