Full .xsession-errors from a minimal session attached.
Within the last months I sometimes peaked at my xsession-errors log file and was not able to see such an issue (and I am using mate-polkit in a full MATE session and under i3 window manager).
I will close your bug report, as I could not reproduce your issue since your reported it. Also: your xsession-errors shows some really peculiar messages, as if you are using a very weird Xserver underneath MATE.
