So while I understand to unify code paths by relying on accoutnsservice
lightdm needs to get back the feature of "hidden-shells=" IMHO.

So in some sense this is a regression in lightdm due to the change to
use accountsservice.

The solution clearly extceeds my Dbus-foo, but shouldn't lightdm be able
to get back "hidden-shells" by implementing a filter on the "Shell"
property of each user that accountsservice provides?

Maybe this was discussed in the lightdm/accountsservice communities -
I'm not part of them and search engines didn't find it for me - but
given how often the question how to hid users came up I'd think some
discussion on the shell filtering might already exist.

Waiting for the expertise of the triagers of lightdm/accountsservice on
that bug now.
