This is very likely caused by packagekit's APT hook talking over dbus. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729527 for more details.

Debian fixed this in January, would be nice to see a backported fix for this apparently harmless but very visible bug

Here is the backported patch as a debdiff for trusty.

I've recompiled the package locally and will let you know if this does NOT fix the issue for me.

This occurs much less frequently, but at least today I experienced this again. So, it looks like the upstream isn't entirely sufficient.
