I would look at the /etc/pam.d/su configuration file, and compare that 
to the /etc/pam.d/sudo configuration file (and maybe even the 
/etc/pam.d/su configuration file from an earlier version).  I don't use 
Fedora, but at a guess I would think there is something in the "su" file 
that isn't in sudo, and maybe you aren't in the correct group, or 
something like that.
