policy file that breaks hal

I have been having intermittent "hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action,
result)" errors when hotplugging removable storage; this is correlated with the
"standby/suspend to disk/ram" options vanishing from menus in KDE.  I finally
tracked down the problem to my installing/removing PulseAudio updates
(specifically pulseaudio-0.9.8-11.1) which create the file
/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/PulseAudio.policy which polkit-policy-file-validate
considers invalid.  When this file is present and an SD card is inserted, for
example, the debug output of hald gives:

** (process:6680): WARNING **: Error loading policy files from
/usr/share/PolicyKit/policy: /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/PulseAudio.policy:29:
parse error: parsing aborted

..

23:23:44.667 [I] hald_dbus.c:4025: failed with
'org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy'
'hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result)'

When this file is removed, everything works flawlessly.

The bug being filed is that a malformed .policy file should not cause hal
operations to fail -- at least not without a much more informative error
message.

Versions:
hal-0.5.9_git20070831-13
PolicyKit-0.4-21
dbus-1-1.0.2-59.2
ConsoleKit-0.2.1-57
