It's weird because tsocks uses LD_PRELOAD to override the system calls but that variable is not kept by pkexec and pkexec is a setuid program so even ld.so should not accept to pre-load the tsocks library. Looking further I see that the message you pasted says “Downloading Dropbox... 100%” so the download actually worked but only the download of the signature failed (or worked but returned nothing). Not sure how to explain that. Maybe a transient problem somewhere in the chain.
