I don't think anything can be done in either unity8 or the dash
binary... this is how mirclient/qtubuntu behave when there's a
connection problem.

Bug description:
According to
https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/bcb050f97778eb836056c1c48139bcde30ed0bcb
it seems to be common-ish.
This happens when unity8-dash can't find unity8 (mir server) and
crashing (via QFatal) is our controlled way of exiting (not very
clean, but it is how it is)[1].
This will happen for example if you try to start unity8-dash directly (not
through upstart) from a ssh shell in the phone, i.e
phablet-shell
stop unity8-dash
unity8-dash
And it may happen after a unity8 crash.
In general we think that it's not a pressing issue users have since
there seems to have not been any report of unity8-dash failing to
start, but we're creating this bug to track it from time to time and
make sure it doesn't get worse.
[1] Qt platform plugins (also know as QPA) don't have a way to say
they had a problem initiating themselves, Qt code is prepared for the
QPlatformIntegrationPlugin::create() function to return, but all it
does when that happens is call qFatal anyway [2]
