You are right, the org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist is intended to be
loaded by a user, not system-wide by root.

The message has been changed by mcalhoun in r49300. The old message was:

##############################################################################
# It is absolutely necessary for dbus enabled programs to work to execute
#
# launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
#
# once for every user. Don't use 'sudo', else it will work only for root!
# You also have to unload it before deactivating/uninstalling this software!
##############################################################################

This was more correct and it should be changed to read like this again
in my opinion.
