This bug is now a year old but I was just bit by this.

Had a DHCP problem on my new Ubuntu install so like a good GUI-boy I
went to the Network config and made sure dhcp was configured for eth0.

Big mistake. That modified /etc/network/interfaces. I then spent an hour
figuring out how NetworkManager worked and why it wasn't doing the DHCP
client stuff for me. Finally commented out eth0 stuff in
/etc/network/interfaces.

Frankly, this is unacceptable. Ubuntu is supposed to be easy to use and
configure, yet my "easy GUI config" broke everything? Serious flaw.
Logging has got to be improved at the very least (i.e. suggestions
above).
