We're bending the rules for an extreme special case. gnome-initial-setup runs while there is no other user on the system, so there's no password you could possibly enter into the system to satisfy a polkit dialog. Also, it's annoying to keep popping it up simply to change the system language.
I suppose you might be able to say that gnome-initial-setup is the system administrator, in a sense.
