Jeff, still noticing the same behavior? The menu has changed a bit a few
times; so it would be best if you could confirm this again.
Also, please check if the VPN connections are configured as "Available
to all users". Toggling this setting (if it's not enabled) might have
them displayed again in the menu. :)

Title:
No longer able to connect to VPN after upgrade to Precise
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I just upgraded one of my laptops from 11.10 to Precise bits.
Afterwards, I discovered that I am no longer able to connect to a
configured VPN, which means it's now impossible for me to do some of
my work from this machine.
Under Oneiric, I had installed Cisco OpenConnect and also OpenVPN.
(OpenConnect is only needed to provide the certificates for the
connection). I had configured a VPN connection to a remote lab and
when I opened the NM menu, if I clicked on 'VPN Connections', the
submenu would display my configured VPN then the options for
'Configure VPN' or 'Disconnect VPN'.
Today I upgraded to Precise, and now I am no longer able to connect to
the VPN.
Now, if I open the NM menu and go down to 'VPN Connections', the only
options available are 'Configure VPN' and 'Disconnect VPN'. I can
click on Configure to open the configuration tool and there I see my
VPN, and all it's settings are still there and correct. but Network
Manager no longer provides me any means to actually connect to that
VPN.
