That is simply a bug. I gave David a fix for it; I hope he manages to
push out a fixed build soon. In the meantime, you can use 
polkit-auth --revoke 
to remove the explicit grants that are causing the problem.

What is the problem with using it as root (apart from the aforementioned
bug) ?

How much checking and managing you want to do depends on your personal
preferences. At least there is a tool, which is more than consolehelper
ever achieved...

Should work, what problem are you seeing ?

What do you mean by that ? Blindly allowing every privileged operation
for everybody ? Or denying it for everybody ?
