The difference is that debians gnome-volume-manager calls pmount, which runs in your session and checks the groups of the caller. As soon als gnome-volume-manager in debian shifts to the hal callouts it will fail too. > And it should at least be noted somewhere in a README, maybe in dbus > or else, that /etc/security/group.conf is not supported by dbus.

I don't know if the KDE part that does the mounting has some info about the plugdev group, but it would be nice to add some info about this there too.
