In which case we can turn around and blame this on the
AuthenticationManager implementation of this, which seems to use the
CFTask stuff as I recall (could be wrong on that)
also, I wonder what role the 'runner' program in the Installation
framework plays in things.. perhaps it is executed via the
authentication stuff as root, and then it in turn calls things via
whatever (NSTask or something)
Layers, upon layers, upon layers.

No that wouldn't. When using NSTask, you MUST separate yourself the
argument list:
[task setArguments:
[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"-r", @"-f", @"/Volumes/Harddisk
1/Applications/iTunes.app", nil]];
is different than the system() call above, and doesn't have the same
bogus side effect.
So NSTask is a little bit longer to use, but is MUCH more secure.
Not to mention the fact that NSTask can't run things as root...
