Because a 'connection' is not the same thing as a network device.  It's
a collection of configuration that can be applied to the device.  It's
fine to have more than one, for example a static config and a DHCP
config for the same interface.  They cannot both be named the same thing
as they must be individually configurable and applicable to the
interface.

Correct, it's not the cause.  But something we need to rule out.  So
now, getting a debug log from NetworkManager is the next thing.  You can
use "nmcli g log level debug" and then attempt to reproduce the problem,
and then lets see what the log say.
