No problem!

It turns out /usr/lib/policykit-1-gnome/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 is not running. Starting it manually gives the following output, but now authentication works.

(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2461): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: cannot register existing type `_PolkitError'
(polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1:2461): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

So now the question is: why is the agent not running when I need it?
