If I understand it correctly, PAC information received from DHCP is send
by NM via DBus, but otherwise not used in any way? So, it is necessary
to use some tool like proxydriver
(https://github.com/jimlawton/proxydriver) that will modify system
settings based on this info?

In any case, this is interesting info because we didn't though of it.
Namely, if browser is configured to use system proxy settings and it is
placed within new namespace, then it might happen that wrong proxy is
used, or global proxy settings are mixed up.
