Comment (by ktdreyer@…):

 Here's the workaround I'm using (posted to the users' mailing list
 earlier)

 I set up a minimal CentOS 6 chroot within /chroot, then installed mythtv-
 backend into that. When I run mythbackend inside the chroot, it is unable
 to connect with the systemwide dbus daemon, but it can still communicate
 with mysqld and mythfrontend over TCP/IP.

 Regarding disk space, I created a 4GB logical volume for the chroot, but
 everything is currently only taking up 850 MB, so I could have probably
 gone for 2GB without problems. (I have the mythtv "recordings" directory
 on an altogether separate logical volume that I also mount within the
 chroot.)

 It's certainly not optimal, but I'm not a DBus/Qt hacker so I don't know
 what else to do.
