Actually, the default of assigning the main user the *profile* of Primary Administrator is the loophole that leads to what you're describing. It's a known issue tracked under bug 4885:

On a side note...

Is there a good tutorial on why root as a role is better than root as an 
account?  I just can't seem to get my head around this.  If someone has access 
to my account, then they can use pfexec to do damage without even entering a 
password.  With a root account, disabled for remote login, I have at least one 
more level of password protection using su.
