I've not seen the same error message, but for some time now, every time there's a Sparkle TeXShop update, authentication is asked for at some point, which I found odd given I didn't think TeXShop involved anything at the OS level.

I thought this was because /Applications/TeX was owned by root, but you seem to say this is normal and of no consequence, so I don't know.
