Implementation of DBus-provided groups introduced a bug in retrieving
user_of_subject UID, which was always NULL if groups were provided by
DBus. This value propagated into JS scripts, where user_of_subject was
completely missing and some .rules files were evaluated incorrectly
(broken polkit-pkla-compat and inherently Gnome Shell).")
