The (K)Ubuntu NetworkManager does not accept the allow-hotplug as a sign to keep it's fingers out of the interface configuration. The author has only considered "auto" as a possible option (at least I guess it's that simple). So sensible, correct or useless - it's the solution to the issue "The FR cannot be used under KDE with running NetworkManager" which seems to be a quite common problem.
