This could be connection matching issues that we've been progressively
squashing.  NM tries to be safe and use an auto-generated connection
from the existing configuration instead of a stored one if the two
aren't the same, so that it doesn't disrupt the interface.  That's
probably what's happening here; and in this case, could you turn on
debug logging with --log-level=debug or "[logging]\nlevel=debug" in
NetworkManager.conf and see if you can reproduce the problem?  That
should dump the generated connection and also indicate why it didn't
match the stored one.

New with NM 0.9.9+ is that connections can be "unsaved" or "dirty" and
the changes will be lost if NM quits, unless they are explicitly saved
with the Connection.Save() method.  Generated connections are unsaved
from the start, which is why they don't show up on-disk.
