Thanks for the log @Victor.

So the smoking gun is:

Jun  4 14:26:41 ubuntu-phablet NetworkManager[1408]: <info> Disabling
autoconnect for connection '/214040113340577/context2'.

There's only one of these in the log.  When this happens, NetworkManager
has seen a disconnect for the modem, but hasn't yet seen the signal that
the GPRS has de-tached ( which is what should happen when you change
radio technology ).  In this case, NM retries the modem rapidly, and
burns through the autoconnect_retry_count for the connection.  When this
count reaches zero, NM sets a 5m timer to reset the retry_count and try
again.

This is indeed similar to the bug #1418077 ( FixReleased ) and bug
#1445080 ( InProgress).  I have a partial fix for the latter bug which
may resolve your specific scenario.

One question, do you wait for the network-indicator to show the mobile
connection is active before switching the radio technology from 3g to
2g, and back again?  I see the connection coming up in the syslog, but
it looks like the technology gets toggled again before it's completely
finished.
