I'm hoping this was fixed at the same time as bug 1966905 by accountsservice 22.08.8-1ubuntu5

We are getting reports from people testing the lunar beta which has the updated accountsservice so it's probably not fixed in that revision...

The previous cherrypick was not enough but I've backported more changes and verified that indicator-message stops crashing, upload to the lunar queue now
