I've had that experience trying to unlock a LUKS device with udisksctl over ssh. Had to use a remote desktop client to see the polkit auth prompt.

I wonder if it wouldn't be useful to have udiskie forward things through password agents[1] and then a tty-based agent be used for that use case. I filed an issue with `udiskie`[2] to do this. All that would be needed then is a terminal UI to listen to password agent requests and offer a selector between them. Could pop one open in tmux/screen and leave it there.
