This has apparently been reported and tentatively fixed upstream, bug
report and patch:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679212
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=8845a2170c01f83ac23b54ef6f6389b94b142f78

With this patch gnome-shell expects the NM plugins to specify the full
path in auth-dialog.  If that's the right way to go, now each VPN
plugin needs to fix their config files, and possibly nm-applet to work
with that change to auth-dialog.  Clone and assign to each VPN package
+ nm-gnome?
