It's actually not complaining about dbus.sh at all. It's complaining
about DBUS, as you mention, and (due to a bug), the correct D-Bus. It's
also putting in the tag the transformed version of the word instead of the
original as found in the text, which unfortunately is even more confusing
if not done that way. I'm going to drop this particular correction from
the non-case-sensitive corrections (and fix the bug that caused it not to
recognize D-Bus).
