No, the login appears to work, but always shows this pop-up. Nevertheless, nothing seems to be disabled. In fact I often don't notice it because it's behind some other window. It's an annoyance rather than a showstopper.
In your initial post you said. "the pop-up just talks about "an application needing authentication", without saying which application"
That doesn't sound like it has anything to do with mounting.
If instead of logging in to a KDE session you ssh in or login from a console session do you get a request to supply your pw a second time? Is /home mounted when you login in that way?
