The ifcfg-eth0 is for when NM is disabled and ONBOOT should then be set to yes 
for this and no for the ifcfg-Wired_Connection_1 an this should be set by NM 
when you tell it not to manage this interface.

There is another option I believe, something like NM_CONTROLLED=no, which if 
present in ifcfg causes NM to not attempt to control the device. For servers 
this should be present.

I agree though that NM not automatically enabling all interfaces under it's 
control should be filed as a bug.
