Just to confirm, I have almost exactly the same set-up with LDAP user and an LDAP group of sysadmin etc. and everything else I have configured seems to work, however I always see in the authd.log the following:
Oct 1 13:05:53 bamboo polkit-agent-helper-1[3656]: pam_unix(polkit-1:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1001 euid=1001 tty= ruser=russell rhost= user=russell
Oct 1 13:05:53 bamboo polkit-agent-helper-1[3656]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "uid=russell,ou=people,dc=mps,dc=lan" (Invalid credentials)
this is despite knowing 100% that the credentials are infact valid (afterall, I log on with them just fine...)

I will try out the patch when I get a chance.
