There are (meant to be) tests for file transfers in telepathy-qt4. If this is
because of a workaround in FT, could that workaround be applied elsewhere?
If not, why aren't the FT tests crashing in the same way?

This is <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20776>. There's a branch
there, although it may need updating. However, I was under the impression that
it could be worked around in QtDBus/Telepathy-Qt4...

This would be an ABI break for telepathy-qt4, although possibly only in ABI
that has never worked.
