Yah, ouch, I was told about this earlier. Basically I (somewhat 
accidentally) converted polkit to use a filesystem loaded init.js rather 
than the one statically built into the binary. Of course init.js isn't 
being shipped in fedora, but it was in my path.

I just posted another patch which reverts to the previous behavior of 
using initjs.h rather than init.js.

But, it took a few hours to track down what is going on with mock/koji 
because independent of this patch, it suddenly cannot build polkit 
(that's likely an issue with systemd/cgroups/autogen.sh/spec behavior). 
The workaround/fix is fairly trivial there too.
