Andy, Colin, can you please revert the workaround in
/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service (remove After=dbus.service),
and instead append these lines in /lib/systemd/system/dbus.service, to
the [Service] section:

ExecStop=/bin/true
KillMode=none

This makes things work in my tests, and is a better fix IMHO. But I'd
like to confirm that this works for you too. Thanks!

Background:

I discussed that with with Michael Biebl. D-Bus is really hairy as you
get into circular dependencies very easily (with e. g. /var or /usr on
NFS), so making it start earlier could miss out some important remote
mounts. What we *really* want is to say "stop D-Bus after all D-Bus
clients", thus synthesize After=dbus.service to all Type=dbus services.
At the moment this only implies After=dbus.socket, but restarting dbus
after you already shut it down isn't working as dbus cannot save/restore
its state. At this state of the release cycle I don't have the guts to
completely rearchitect this.

Also, stopping D-Bus in a running system isn't something which we ever
supported; to the contrary, we patched several packages to avoid
restarting/stopping D-Bus in postinsts, as stopping d-bus in a running
system is shooting yourself into the foot (independent of which init
system you use). Thus leaving D-Bus running until the bitter end should
be fine, it doesn't have any file system things to do on shutdown. This
also approximates the brave new kdbus world where d-bus is basically
"always available".
