How reproducible:
always

FWIW, it originally wasn't designed to be started by the bus, as it predates the bus being able to start things.  The daemon can register multiple service names when it's started, which may complicate things if we're looking at bus activation.

Fixing the can't-start-as-a-regular-service part is easier.
