I do not know why you're doing that.  But, I haven't.

I have configured by f28 system to run vncsever as a service and I see the error
you're reporting.

I believe I understand why the error is presented.

If you start the vncserver you'll see something like this

polkitd    706     1  0 22:31 ?        00:00:02 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug
egreshko  3527  3497  2 22:58 ?        00:00:00 /usr/libexec/xfce-polkit

running

When you make a vnc client connection, you get the error and then you'll see only

polkitd    706     1  0 22:31 ?        00:00:03 /usr/lib/polkit-1/polkitd --no-debug

running.  /usr/libexec/xfce-polkit has crashed.  Why?  I have no idea at 23:00.
