I am unable to find the problem with the current code in Introspector.pm. Could you supply a short snippet of example code demonstrating the problem - or at least tell me what service & object you're using demonstrates the problem ?

After another report of this same problem I have determined that the Net::Dbus code is not at fault. The remote service is providing broken Introspection XML data. Dictionary entries are *mandated* to occur within an array by the DBus spec. It is not valid to have a dictionary entry on its own. Hence nothing needs changing in Net::DBus.
