In-App Purchase: Hosted Content cannot be unpacked if User is not Administrator

Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
In my Mac App on the Mac App Store (http://fflp.me), the user can buy new content (new characters) from the Store (Cmd B) by clicking on the price or "Restore" (or "Restore All" in the menu. After the usual confirmation dialogs, the download begins, by landing in 'paymentQueue:updatedDownloads:' with the state SKDownloadStateActive. All goes fine, until almost 100%, when (I'm guessing) the internals of StoreKit go and unpack that .pkg to deliver me it's content.

On a "normal" (Administrator) user, all goes fine and I land in SKDownloadStateFinished where I can install the content.

On a Guest user though (used by the Apple Review Team as well), this happens — before SKDownloadStateFinished:

2 Apple Engineers told me during WWDC that it's a know bug and the Review Team then approved the app. The problem is that I'm now sure that someone using a guest account will loose money for nothing, which makes me have to check the user is not a guest.

Apple claims it now works in Yosemite. I reply....

I'm super confused........ Where did the "Guest" Login go in Yosemite? I'm running Beta 6 (14A329f) and I deactivated FileVault and in the login screen there's no "Guest" — only me.
