Interesting; what version of dbus-glib?  Earlier versions had problems
with GetAll specifically.  You may need these dbus-glib commits:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-glib/commit/?id=94d68f00d9d244de3b1d66d3cf78bb5171552311
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus-glib/commit/?id=d1b80d803a0268bd4b3dd5b9a9522230461f2947

Does it work if you get each property individually?  That would point
directly to a dbus-glib issue.

dbus-send --system --print-reply \
	--dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings \
	/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings \
	org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
	string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.System \
	string:Hostname
