As for the initial description, when I manually block WLAN using "rfkill block wlan", I do in fact see a DeviceChanged signal for the WiFi device, and if I run urfkill's enumerate script urfkill does have the correct state. Note, I edited the output from enumerate below to only show the WiFi device.
