Comment(by bert):

 So this was hard to diagnose because of #6391. Real log file attached.

 Apparently we send in a DICT_ENTRY ('e') and contained_signature ("sv")
 which iter_open_container()  does not like. Older D-Bus versions did just
 ignore the signature. The F9 version seems to have assertions enabled in
 the production code.

 But this was not the only failure but also the DataStore could not move
 the saved file. That's because Etoys used a subdirecory of the data
 directory for pass-off to the DS and this was not writable by the olpc
 user. Perhaps the permissions should be made sticky?

 Anyway, I'll put out a fix that uses the instance directory for datastore
 transfer.
