This is you installation fault (strange...), I've not modified anything before 
that line and it says:

if (geteuid () != 0) {
  fprintf(stderr,"%s not installed root-suid\n",argv[0]);
  return 1; /* FAIL */
}

this is a conseguence of the fact that grantpty returned "1".

Yes and no: all is ok, but the group is set on a "non deterministic" way (I'll 
explore it more, but I couldn't find any doc about this), you've to use 
konsole_grantpty so set it to "tty".
In my work box the tty is created under group "tape" and with my home box 
under my own group "gioele". Maybe there are some hardcoded values in glibc 
code...
