No way is this correct, it writes into the returned variant GValue
without actually allocating it. I guess that's why it wasn't actually
being called. :)

I think the way returned variants are handled is special in the sense that dbus-glib will allocate it for you.  Did you try calling it and it crashed?

Ok, so it seems, upsettingly, that this is in fact a valid API use. Invalidating this bug.
