I needed to set the following environment variable too:
PULSE_SERVER=Machine1

The Pulesaudio applications work OK now, once the PULSE_SERVER is set.
But I still get the above warning messages.  How can I avoid these warnings?

I had been confused by the atk-bridge warnings, which seem to
have misdirected my search for a solution!
