I did not have libnotify installed, so the update manager and the like probably use something else.
I can, however, confirm that libnotify popups are still popping up on top of gksu promts on Hardy by following your instructions. I wonder what else have "access" to override/manipulate gksu promts. This could lead to security problems.
