Looks like someone forgot to mark the GetProperties method as ASYNC 
which might cause this.

Try git commit 454b7e63e38b8df034a3c5e1d9b8562ca92ceb0b to see if it 
fixes this issue.

The very first call to GetProperties triggers a +CNUM query to the 
driver.  Once the query is performed, the results are cached and the 
reply is returned.  All subsequent replies will be generated on the 
cached results.  If you have multiple clients that are trying to utilize 
GetProperties during the initial query time, then all-but-one will 
receive an InProgress error.

Here's the commit for reference:

diff --git a/src/handsfree.c b/src/handsfree.c

  static const GDBusMethodTable handsfree_methods[] = {
-       { GDBUS_METHOD("GetProperties",
+       { GDBUS_ASYNC_METHOD("GetProperties",
                         NULL, GDBUS_ARGS({ "properties", "a{sv}" }),
                         handsfree_get_properties) },
         { GDBUS_ASYNC_METHOD("SetProperty",
