Is there more to the traceback than this?  I can't see where in firstboot this
is coming from with just one line to go on.

No this is it.

I think it is trivial to reproduce from a shell.

Looks to be a bug in a python module - either logging or gettext.  All we're
doing here is:

import gettext
_ = lambda x: gettext.ldgettext("firstboot", x)

if not opts.test and (os.getuid() > 0 or os.geteuid() > 0):
    logging.error(_("You must be root to run firstboot."))
    os._exit(0)
