I assume that KDBusAddons imports other KDE modules - if so what happens when you explicitly import those first?

That exception will be raised when the import fails but no exception is raised to say why. You can look though the code of the SIP_MODULE_ENTRY() function and see exactly which call to SIP_MODULE_RETURN() is being made to get a better idea of where the problem is.
