It would be great if the System Settings network list *was* exactly the same code as the network indicator network list. Currently they differ in icon size, spacing, padlock position, and colors vs. checkboxes, so it would be alarming if one really was a copy of the other.

Anyway, in Ubuntu 15.04 r23, System Settings, the indicator menu, and the first-run setup all have the bug described: when you select a network, it jumps to the top of the list before it has even connected. This is especially jarring when it fails to connect at all, for example because you don't know the password.

That the network you choose should jump to the top currently isn't mentioned in the spec at all. It's a good idea -- better than using checkboxes, at least! -- but if it had been specced in advance perhaps this bug would have been avoided. Mea culpa.
