Also true, but...

Hopefully, anyone in your sudoers group (wheel) can be trusted not to abuse this. But sudo in not exactly the same as su, so I hope Apple corrects this soon. Apparently, the Apple Menu is built by the frontmost app, and has all the privileges of the controlling user (in this case root). The solution would be to make sure the Apple Menu only has the privs of the logged in user. However, this may be easier said than done. ;)
