To be official (rather than via IRC) I updated the failing system to the latest Precise updates and this issue has been resolved. I am now again able to connect to VPNs as I did before and they are properly displayed in the network menu.

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.
