It's going to be very hard to fix this in nm-applet; the issue really comes from the fact that fontconfig or gtk or some other low-level part is getting broken by the upgrade. We do expect people to reboot after running the dist-upgrade though.
Nicolas, since it's obviously wrong, please file a separate bug, I'll look to see if this can be tracked down to a particular change.
