Is there something I can do to expedite this?  I submitted a bug that
wound up being a duplicate of this one, and even created and tested a
patch to the config.  The config change is pretty trivial, and worked
perfectly in my testing.  I'm not sure why this wouldn't be considered a
permanent fix rather than a workaround.

The fix is pretty trivia, and involves changing a default in the file

/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/net.reactivated.fprint.device.policy

to:

  <action id="net.reactivated.fprint.device.enroll">
    <description>Enroll new fingerprints</description>
.
.
.
    <defaults>
      <allow_any>no</allow_any>
      <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive>
      <allow_active>auth_self_keep</allow_active>
    </defaults>

The previous default was:
       <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
