Well without that DBUS service file krunner is not running and is also 
not started by Alt-Space shortcut.

So at least that seems to be a confirmation that it is this DBUS service 
file that starts krunner. So your suspicion might be correct that it is 
something to do with dbus-x11. Also that it does not happen with a 
Wayland session points at that.

And I can at least confirm that the current working directory of kwalletd 
and kiod5 is also /. I bet those are started by the corresponding 
service files in /usr/share/dbus-1/services.

I think that pretty much nails it, what do you think? If you agree, I'd 
file a report for dbus-x11.

Best,
