I had a similar issue a while ago on a friend's machine and wondered the same thing. Searched for days before finally finding a solution somewhere buried deep in the Ubuntu forums; your nm-editor hack sounds familiar. My friend's machine had auto login which caused the issue with wpa encryption. It was on Debian Lenny.
