Sadly, there is currently no true consent on which DNS servers should be used (though I agree defaulting to the ones from VPN often makes the most sense). Please, bring this up on the NetworkManager mailing list (http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list) for how to deal with the various cases (having DNS from VPN appended or prepended to the existing DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf).

As a workaround, you should be able to use resolvconf which is recommended and usually installed alongside openvpn and other VPN plugins and configure it to do exactly what you need (be it ignore the vpn DNS settings from NM, or keep those above, whichever).
