Literally just toggling that one option "Store password for all users" in the VPN settings fixes the problem entirely. Use "sudo service network-manager restart" and it connects flawlessly the first time. To avoid the error loop on bootup specifically, just uncheck the box "Make available to other users" on the primary connection.
