The DBUS maintainers kindly pointed out in bug 1798899 that this case is covered in the DBUS API documentation https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/api/html/group__DBusMemory.html#ga01912903e39428872920d861ef565bac:

Calling from a library is exactly what is going on here, so we will not be able to fix this.
