This still affects me in Precise 12.04 LTS Beta. What bothers me is that I get two dialogs:

1) Password to erase a disk. Behaviour of formatting the disk is inconsistent with Disk Utility which does not need a password.
USB creator needs a password for com.ubuntu.usbcreator.format

2) Password for "Installing the Bootloader" times out and then the installation fails if I'm not there to put in the password.

The errors you get if you do not enter the password, or cancel are cryptic to average users (dbus, policykit errors).
