It might be a udisks2 regression - I have posted on opensuse Bugzilla following advice.

That seems bad indeed. Can you follow up with the udisks folks? See https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/udisks/
As I floundered around I got to suse bugzilla and they are on the case https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216055
Cool, thanks for following up!
