Hm, can't reproduce the issue here, just tested a OpenVPN connection
successfully with NM 1.12.0.
Could you share the config of the VPN connection (you'll find it in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/). Make sure to remove any
sensitive data.

A NetworkManager debug log would be helpful as well.
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager/Debugging#Debugging_NetworkManager-openvpn
for the openvpn part
and
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager/Debugging#Other_NetworkManager_Debugging
(should end up in the journal)
