I've just tested this again, and it turns out you're right. What was confusing my case was a stray ifcfg-bnep0 from an attempt to use ICS via Bluetooth, which was stopping NM from really doing anything. Once I removed that, NM is indeed able to handle things correctly in ICS mode. So now I've followed up with Dan. He accepts that for now it makes more sense for synce to handle the network configuration in the synchronization case. So it seems both sides now agree that NM should handle the ICS case and synce-hal should butt out, and synce-hal should handle the synchronization case and NM should butt out. Dan will fix up NM to ignore the synchronization case, and synce-hal should make 10-synce.fdi more specific so it ignores the ICS case - and then all should be sweetness and light!
