There's no bug there: we're on purpose defaulting to system-wide connections since Oneiric. This means one will need administrator rights to be able to create system-wide connection profiles, which explains the popup.
On this 12.04 install of Lubuntu, done from a minimal deboostrap followed by installing "lubuntu-desktop" the administrator users were manually put into the "adm" group.
There was no "admin" group created by any package - that is only done by the installer.
Therefore the solution was:
sudo addgroup admin
sudo adduser $USER admin
log-out and log-in again and the prompt for root password goes away.
