Previously, the VPN-provided nameserver setting would be pushed into the config of the dnsmasq run by NM. Now, it is being pushed instead to /etc/resolv.conf. nameserver 10.99.244.1 nameserver 127.0.1.1 This is breaking the DNS handling for libvirt-bin, which has its own forwarding dnsmasq instance which it expects to be able to talk to the first nameserver listed here. The nameserver in question does not work (and is not meant to be used) for any name lookups except company-internal domains. Connecting to the VPN also pushes search paths to /etc/resolv.conf - overriding the search domains that I have already configured, and which should take precedence. (This part is not a regression.) I understand that the purpose of these provided domains is to specify the domains for which DNS lookups should be forwarded to the VPN DNS server, and *not* to modify the system's DNS lookups for non-FQDN requests.
