In particular, creating a logind session results in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
being set inside the chroot, to a path that only exists outside the chroot.
Packages that use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are expected to have some sort of
reasonable fallback behaviour if it is not set at all (for example
dbus disables the features that need it, and some other packages use
~/.cache/foo as a fallback version of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/foo), but they
often do not have a graceful fallback path if $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set
to a path that is inaccessible, on the basis that they should do their
best to obey explicit requests from the user/environment ("the user is
always right").
