NOTE: This bug is not about a login failure. Login is succeeding as shown in comment #7. It's only the shell that's failing to start:

gdm-password][2440]: pam_unix(gdm-password:session): session opened for user chris by (uid=0)
systemd-logind[904]: New session 5 of user chris.
systemd[1]: Started Session 5 of user chris.
gnome-shell[1128]: g_dbus_connection_call_sync_internal: assertion 'G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed

That is the same behaviour as I see.

Ads20000 might be experiencing something slightly different.
