Confirming; I just noticed this while in the train and trying to comprehend why using the name from the menu didn't work in iwconfig. Note however, NM still does the right thing since the name is just something to display (and only in the menu, not in other places it might show).
It seems this is an issue with libappindicator rather than nm-applet though as the indicator patch doesn't change actual functionality, I just reuse the existing code and use app_indicator functions rather than gtk_status_icon where appropriate.
