I can confirm that this bug still exists with plasma-widget-networkmanagement_0.9~svn1029786-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
nm-applet works without any problems. The difference is in the way they launch dhclient. I remember having similar problems in debian, where the issue was related to calling dhclient for ipv6 interface rather than ipv4.
