In [1] I suggested to use "kill $(cat /run/rsyslogd.pid)" in postinst
(same reason, to minimize downtime).

We could apply the same workaround to NM:
kill $(cat /var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid)
or a less hacky way like
start-stop-daemon --stop --retry 5 --quiet --pidfile
/var/run/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.pid --exec /usr/sbin/NetworkManager
(directly copied from the SysV init script)

Both options (invoke-rc.d stop in preinst, manual stop in postinst)
aren't pretty.
