I can confirm this too.
My private key starts like this:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: DES-EDE3-CBC,509FB430BEB25072

And I can add my pass phrase to network manager and it will apply without 
issues. However, if i restart my machine, it will during the lightdm login 
complain about that the key is unsafe and unencrypted. 
When i log in the pass phrase is gone and i have to fill it in again.

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Linux hostname 3.16.0-50-generic 
network-manager       0.9.8.8-0ubuntu amd64
network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu amd64
