Public bug reported:
All NetworkManager VPN plugins fail to start with an error in keyfile
load_from_data():
JS ERROR: !!! error while reading VPN plugin output keyfile
JS ERROR: !!! message = '"Cannot convert string to array of 'utf8'"'
JS ERROR: !!! fileName =
'"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/networkAgent.js"'
JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '538'
JS ERROR: !!! stack =

I started debugging this bug couldn't get much farther than noting the
issue is with taking the string data in load_from_data(). Here is some
example data from a VPN plugin, which fails to be parsed. The same
applies if Gnome Shell is started with LC_ALL=C, and all the data passed
from the plugins is in English:
JS LOG: Data from plugin:
[VPN Plugin UI]
Version=2
Description=Vous devez vous authentifier pour accéder au réseau privé virtuel «
Connexion VPN 1 ».
Title=Authentifier le VPN
[Xauth password]
