Workaround after encountering this problem: Restart the KDE policykit daemon:

$ /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1

which is usually start by /usr/share/autostart/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop (look into this file to see the command above).

This is also why logging out and logging back in again usually works.
