Huh, thanks - I didn't think to look at polkit itself. Sorry for the dup. So it seems polkit itself is effectively completely broken when using hidepid, and there is no way to fix it without defeating the _purpose_ of hidepid (granting my user the privileges to see the full /proc tree basically disables hidepid, although it may still be useful for hiding /proc from _other_ users, e.g. ones that run various daemons...?).
As I don't really use polkit much, I don't think I'll be doing that, but I think we should at least list this somewhere in the readme or package description for policykit-1 so that affected users know about the current solution (this is more important now that systemd uses polkit for authorization and a broken polkit means a broken systemd, at least in terms of interactive authorization).
