The reason for this was recently mentioned [1] on the dbus mailing list:

>>> Because dbus-python guesses the dictionary type by looking at the first
>>> key-value pair which is 's' and 's' in this case.

>>> You can use dbus.Dictionary({'name': 'test', 'id': 10}, signature='sv')
>>> to explicitly tell it what type the dictionary should have.


I already gave my Ack and can push the patch for you if you want.
