It's dbus-daemon that's actually trying to start them, probably
because somethng is trying to talk to NetworkManager over DBus and NM
is configured for bus activation.  systemd is doing the right thing
and refusing to start it when DBus asks it to, but that makes
dbus-daemon error out.

"rm /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager*.conf" will disable bus
activation for NetworkManager and make the messages go away.
