I have the same on FC17, so it's not your upgrade.

Somehow services launched by the system bus fool syslog into thinking the 
message comes from the D-Bus daemon. I don't know how that is possible.

Also, this is a systemd-based system, so the activation comes from systemd 
itself (I think), which means the daemon can't be leaking file descriptors to 
the child process.
