Hi! IIRC, NetworkManager only handles connexions marked as auto (or not listed at all, should check that somewhere) in /etc/network/interfaces. In network-amin (gst tool started from System->Administration->Network), you can see that those connexions are in "Itinerant mode", which merely means that NetworkManager takes care of them, and that other tools (the gst, but also Debian-specific tools like ifup). If you want to configure an interface (with static IP or even with DHCP) from network-admin, or use it from ifup/ifdown tools, you'll stop NetworkManager from using it. Just check that by playing with the check box and the nm-applet list of devices.
So there's no race condition at all, and hopefully the coexistence is very limited. But why are you interested in this? I wouldn't advise you to work with network-admin to manage your connexions at this point, since in more recent versions NetworkManager has much improved. Now, connexions are no longer handled by network-admin by default, and I don't plan fixing bugs in that tool any more.
