The default NetworkManager D-BUS policies are essentially Fedora specific. I'm not aware of any other major vendor (that isn't essentially a direct Fedora/RHEL clone) that ships with pam_console by default. Since you're using Ubuntu, you should investigate what their NetworkManager packages (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/NetworkManager) do, since clearly they have it working. It might make sense for them to submit a patch which conditionally chooses which D-BUS policy to install depending on the target distribution.
