I believe this still allows autostart of the session bus. It needs a
"real" dummy address in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS with proper syntax,
like the example I have pointed to. Compare

# env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="" emacs --eval "(dbus-init-bus :session)"

# env DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/tmp/foo" emacs --eval 
"(dbus-init-bus :session)"

Best regards, Michael.
