Tomeu is right, this is actually the bug. I was mistakenly confused with
dbus-python.

Tomeu, out of interest would PyGObject handle this better if it was a
GVariant. Now that gjs has gained GVariant support, I think we should
start exposing GVariant-based APIs for gobject-introspection instead of
TpAsv-based ones.
