Some weekend numbers of how many reboots needed to reproduce the problem
on mako: 30, 12, 15, 59, 15, 9, 26, 10, 6. There's no clear upper limit.

In other testing, reverting the libusermetrics landing from February
does not seem to cure the problem - I was able to reproduce the problem
also with the revert I've pushed to https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-
service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-007/+packages

I've improved the test case in the description several times to get fuller 
backtraces. With the latest version I was able to see that both in case of the 
current libusermetrics and the reverted one the backtrace leads back to 
usermetrics's DBus usage. Which is not to say there's anything wrong with 
libusermetrics, as the bug is in multi-threaded handling of DBus inside Qt. The 
DBus call being called is:
#17 0xffffffff in dbus_bus_add_match (connection=0xe9d140, rule=0x11ba818 
"type='signal',sender='com.canonical.UserMetrics',path='/com/canonical/UserMetrics/DataSource/2',interface='com.canonical.usermetrics.DataSource',member='emptyDataStringChanged'",
 error=0x0) at ../../dbus/dbus-bus.c:1553
        msg = 0xf76058
        __FUNCTION__ = "dbus_bus_add_match"
