That's expected. As Michael already said, we never explicitly granted user access to device nodes. Maybe in the past some devices got that through specific group membership, or you had some custom udev rules to do that; but throughout the history of pmount, hal, consolekit, udev etc. in Debian the device nodes themselves weren't user accessible in general. The main exception there that I remember is Fedora's/Red Hat's ancient console_helper (or something similar) which actually changed the device nodes themselves. But that was some decade ago already..
