Looking now, it stems from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462161;
in that bug it mentions:

- having the checkbox to add to 'Administrator' group
- changing the polkit config
- changing the usermode config to use this

So, it looks like the second two bits weren't properly cloned/communicated.
Design of this appears to have been 'firstboot maintainer + people CC'd on
the bug.' Changing the root password screen wasn't mentioned as part of that
plan; note that that's at an entirely different portion of the workflow, and
given that firstboot does not run on all installs, leads to problems if you
drop it entirely (how do you log in?)
