I could reproduce it occasionally, not 100%. Run "emacs -Q". Eval:

(require 'dbus)
(setq dbus-debug t)
(dbus-register-method :session "a.b" "/a/b" "a.b" "c" 'ignore)

It times out after 25". The backtrace is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (dbus-error "call timed out")
  signal(dbus-error ("call timed out"))
  byte-code(...)
  dbus-list-names(:session)
  dbus-register-method(:session "a.b" "/a/b" "a.b" "c" ignore)
  eval((dbus-register-method :session "a.b" "/a/b" "a.b" "c" (quote ignore)) 
nil)
  eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-last-sexp)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

*Messages* contains the traces.

Best regards, Michael.
