Hi all, I had a similar problem.
I have to machines running Debian 'sid'. I log into to one of them remotely, and then try to start gnome-terminal on the remote machine. It fails with ** (gnome-terminal:32635): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-BsBR70aN1R: Connection refused Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Could not connect: Connection refused Since DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS isn't set on the remote host, it doesn't help to unset that. However, if I start the remote gnome-terminal like gnome-terminal --disable-factory then I get the first warning about connection to DBUS but not the second error, and the terminal starts just fine. Thought this might help.
