https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager/VPN says this:

"Plugin compatibility note

NetworkManager generally gets released together with the new versions of VPN plugins. However, it maintains backward compatibility with older plugin versions. That means that the plugin version 0.9.10.0 will work with later NetworkManager versions, such as 1.2.

There's one exception to this: the editor plugins were ported to new libnm library in NetworkManager 1.2. The older version of the library can not coexist in a single process. Thus, the newer libnm-based nm-connection-editor will not be able to edit the VPN connections unless you also upgrade the VPN plugin."

The last paragraph explains the issue -- the plugin will work with the new NetworkManager but nm-connection-editor will not be able to edit VPN connections.
