That specific behavior is bug 1508563, whose fix just landed and will be in the next rc-proposed. It happened if unity8 was too being too slow (because the system was loaded).

That is all great news! I will confirm today in my neighborhood and jump for joy if no UI freezes occur (I had tried those steps before but was watching CPU, where spikes still happened -- which I guess is the "slightest tick" you saw in the UI -- when a scan occurs).

I'll note that xenial has dbus 1.10, so it should have GetAllMatches if anyone wants to try Tony's scripts without actually patching dbus. Just install devel-proposed instead of rc-proposed. Of course, that will change a lot of other things on your system.
