Thanks. I've taken a look and it appears that it has corrected the build
failure - which means we are now in the same situation as earlier, where
the testing phase cleans up the dbus-daemon processes that are launched by
the CMake configure phase (which stops it from breaking the node entirely,
but is still not perfect)

The C++ code is completely innocent in this case, one of the checks being
run by CMake as part of the configure-time step is the cause of this issue.
Do you have any kdeconnect-kde specific checks in there that call custom
binaries / code to search for specific dependencies by any chance?
