It seems to be the result of some sort of timing/race issue with the network manager. Immediately after boot (and for at least several hours thereafter) ping doesn't work. However, if the ethernet cable is unplugged long enough for the network manager to drop the interface, like 20 seconds, then plugged back in again, suddenly ping by name works.
