Jesse, I do not have 17.04 so I cannot test these myself. You guys could
help:

At https://blogs.gnome.org/thaller/2016/08/26/mac-address-spoofing-in-
networkmanager-1-4-0/ it mentions that:

Update-2017-01-25: with 1.6 release and newer, the default value changed
from “permanent” to “preserve” [commit],[bug].

The "preserve" default value means that NM will not attempt to change the MAC 
address upon activation. 
I just checked the source of "network-manager" on 17.04 (using LXD with 17.04 
container) and it goes not have this update.

Could you please check in NetworkManager to see what is the default value for
“ethernet.cloned-mac-address” and “wifi.cloned-mac-address”, on a Ubuntu 17.04 
installation?

I think that "nmcli device show" might show it. If not, try somehow to
figure out the default.
