I'm very far from being a D-Bus expert, but I suspect that this is
almost certainly completely unrelated to the message reported by the OP.

On current testing, 'apt-file search org.freedesktop.Accounts' finds a
few items (including one 'org.freedesktop.Accounts.xml') in the package
'accountsservice'.

The description of that package states that

and on the basis of that, my guess would be that you don't have this
package installed, and something in your reboot process is attempting to
query those D-Bus interfaces just in case they're present, but since
they aren't, you see these error messages.

(It may or may not be possible for another package to provide the same
interfaces without providing those filenames; my guess would be that it
is, but I don't know how to go about identifying any such package that
may be available.)
