It's not a problem in libpam-systemd/systemd, it works as intended. The issue is, that lightdm 1.8 no longer registers a ConsoleKit session if it finds an active logind. That means, from a CK pov the is is inactive/non-local. E.g. policykit in unstable/testing still uses CK as backend. As a result, all actions which require an active session are denied. The XFCE/lightdm maintainers need to decide if they want to use systemd-logind or stick with the obsolete CK. If the former, they'll need to do the switch to logind in a coordinated way, updating all affected components in the right order. There is nothing really in libpam-systemd which needs to be fixed and this bug should just be closed.
