 Searching for the name of the crashing function, I found
 https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/xenial/main/updates/upower,
 which states
 
 * Fix up_client_new() returning an invalid object (that causes crashes on
     any operation) when upowerd is not (yet) started. (LP: #1546641)
 
 I noticed that upowerd is not running in my session, and starting it fails with
 
 (upowerd:2307): UPower-WARNING **: 18:48:29.875: failed to load config
 file '/usr/pkg/etc/UPower/UPower/UPower.conf': No such file or
 directory
 
 The config file is in etc/UPower/UPower.conf, not where it is
 searching for it. Symlinking it into the correct place makes the
 daemon exit immediately:
 
 $ /usr/pkg/libexec/upowerd -v
 TI:18:51:50 Starting upowerd version 0.99.4
 TI:18:51:50      name lost, exiting
