Thank you for helping making Ubuntu better by reporting this bug.
I'm confirming it and linking it to the upstream bug.

The best solution would be to use PolicyKit. However, it's not very likely upstream will fix this since the development stopped and now GNOME Disk Utility, a plugin for Nautilus, is the official preferred method for formating your disks.
