I can reproduce this both on a full upgrade with NetworkManager in Networking disabled state, and by upgrading just NM and nm-applet to the maverick versions on a fresh Lucid install. Just editing the polkit policy file is enough for NM to wake up and enable the menu entry, so I suspect there is a trick that can be done to let policykit or NetworkManager know that there has been changes to policy files during the install, and that the issue comes from the order in which NM and policykit are being upgraded.
