Mathieu asked me to look at this bug report. I think it's
straightforward that the purpose of the menu title is primarily to let
you know whether you are connected to the Internet, and secondarily to
tell you what kind of connection you're using. (I'd written similarly in
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking#Title>: "The title of the menu
should show the most unusual method by which the computer is currently
connected to the Internet, or that it is not connected at all.")
Those goals shouldn't be mutually exclusive. The menu title tells you
whether you are connected or not if you are using wi-fi, so it's totally
reasonable for it to tell you whether you are connected or not with a
wired connection too. It shouldn't be difficult to produce a "wired
disconnected" icon, though it might be necessary to fix bug 532522 at
the same time. (If no-one is available to provide icon artwork, let me
know and I'll submit a request to Canonical's visual designers.)
