I think the dhcp-options man page is outdated. See also [1]. I CCed Andrew, just to be sure. Nonetheless, even if this is a misconfiguration, I talked to NM upstream, and we discussed if NM could be a bit smarter and strip off "/032". After all, it's not a valid domain name component. Upstream does not seem to be aversed to this idea. Andrew, what would be your recommendation?
