I can confirm that this is a breakage introduced in the 0.9.8.8 version
on network-manager. Reverting back to 0.9.8.0, I do not see the problem
anymore.
In fact, not just my dispatcher use case, but in general, there are many
issues related to VPN, reported in this new version of network-manager.

In case you want logs, I have made it available at:
