I agree with you, but what else could make it owned by root? Or PA is started as root before the DM is started, and maybe it doesn't remove it after terminating/crashing, or the DM does something nasty...
A workaround could be a script runned *after* login and whitelisted in /etc/sudoers.d that checks the permissions of that directory.
