Strictly speaking, method calls are not callouts. In HAL, we have three
classes of external programs that we can run

 - callouts:     invoked when adding/removing device objects
 - addons:       runs during the life-time of a device object
 - method calls: invoked in response to a D-BUS method call

However... all these  share code to manage external processes and so
forth.. see hald/util.c for details.

What you are seeing appears to be a problem with a method call. But it
may be the same code though :-)

Are you using debug-hald.sh script? Doing that and getting a backtrace
will probably tell you where the bug is..
