Ah, sorry, I misread the upstream commit that introduced the bug, and
put the registration a bit too early indeed.

See the story on

Basically at-spi-bus-launcher is waiting, before registering itself, for
an event that gnome-session will emit only after at-spi-bus-launcher has
registered... Upstream hasn't answered so far.
