Followup

I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the driver (bcmwl-kernel-source) or networkmanager (network-manager-gnome).

Looking at the state of some things in the /sys hierarchy before and after checking "enable wireless" in network manager. I'm not sure if these are helpful or irrelevant, but it probably doesn't hurt...

/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/enable "1" (before and after)
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/power/control "on" (before and after)

/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/carrier "invalid node" -> "0"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/dormant "invalid node" -> "0"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/flags "0x1002" -> "0x1003"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/link_mode "0" -> "1"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/operstate "down" -> "up"
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/power/control "auto" (before and after)
