Hi Charlie,
(I think this should really go to questions at ... but maybe i'm wrong)
I run dbus, hald and XFCE4 on 6.2 STABLE (have been for a while). I haven't seen any of the problems you describe.

My relevant rc.conf bits are :
----
# Hardware Abstraction Layer 
## supported by XFCE 4.4 and Thunar
hald_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
-----

You can change them to NO and they'll be disabled in the next boot.

Any messages in ~/.xsession-errors ? or /var/log/messages ?
