This is on a Lenovo x200s, and I have this bug on both 2.6.29 and
2.6.28.8.  I haven't tried any other kernels on this machine.

When I boot the system without an ethernet cable plugged in, ip link
does not show NO-CARRIER until I've plugged in and unplugged my
ethernet cable.  Oddly enough, ethtool shows the correct status the
whole time.  This confuses me and NetworkManager.

dmesg says:

[    2.338427] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1)
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[    2.338489] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
[    2.338565] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: MAC: 6, PHY: 8, PBA No: 1008ff-0ff

...

[   35.806117] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

ip link says (incorrectly, I believe):

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state
UNKNOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

ethtool eth0 says (at the end):

        Link detected: no

Now I plug in an ethernet cable and unplug it again (with eth0 up and
NetworkManager stopped).  dmesg says:

[  763.091333] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[  766.224944] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex,
Flow Control: RX/TX
[  766.226690] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
[  769.436269] 0000:00:19.0: eth0: Link is Down
[  776.672111] eth0: no IPv6 routers present

ip link says:

2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast
state DOWN qlen 1000
    link/ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Setting eth0 down and back up again does not re-break it.
