Correct, this is the expected workaround for setting custom additional
DNS rather than replacing everything -- this is because DNS really does
come from DHCP and should normally be correct; and there are other
facilities available to configure special requirements.
The other easy way to configure such a thing is to use resolvconf to
manage /etc/resolv.conf. This is especially true for newer Ubuntu
releases, as resolvconf may be quite buggy in some older ones.
Unfortunately, Intrepid has been EOL now since April 30, 2010; and since
there is no package archive remaining for this release, there is no way
to provide further updates (which means it's not worth the effort of
fixing a bug if there is one). Because there are other tools meant to
take care of the DNS domainname additions better than NetworkManager,
and also workarounds using resolvconf (and probably others) I'm closing
this bug as Won't Fix.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
