Update: after reinstalling, I clicked on my "Update notifier" icon, and got the bug. I then quit update notifier, and ran KPackageKit from the menu. There, clicking on "apply all available updates" gave me a login prompt. So I've got different behaviour between kpackagekit and updatenotifier (which seems to be a component of kpackagekit to me).
