Bugreport: QDBusArgument does not work with PyQt6

[JakobDev]

This is strange. It crashes with message.setArguments() before it send
anything, so there is nothing dbus-monitor could show. I have now
attached a simpler code. The line
arg.add(QDBusVariant(QByteArray(b"Hello"))) is the culprit. If I comment
them out, it doesn't crash.- Also no crash under PyQt5 with this line.
