Just installed a VM with the current 14.04 Beta that has NetworkManager 0.9.8.8 and it looks like the settings may be retained now (looks like may have been fixed in NM 0.9.8.4 looking at the release notes.)

NetworkManager will not write any other mode than "Round- robin" to the configuration file. For example I can choose "Active Backup" when editing the bond, save and close the NetworkManager. When I open it again, the mode is once again set to "Round-robin" and not my previously checked "Active Backup" when I closed NetworkManager. Also if I edit "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Bond\ Connection\ 1" by hand to have any other mode, NetworkManager resets the value on open of the application.
