I just upgraded network-manager to test your workaround but I cannot
reproduce this bug anymore. I tried to restart networking and the
network-manager services. I also tried to purge network-manager and
reinstall it again. I didn't try to reboot.

The bug might affect new installations only.
Maybe network-manager remembers which devices it has already managed and
keeps managing them? Or the previous version of network-manager creates
configuration files that makes the new version work correctly?

Still, cat
/usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/10-globally-managed-devices.conf
effectively gives me:

[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=*,except:type:wifi,except:type:wwan

I don't know if this file was present when I was using the previous
version of network-manager. The new version of network-manager works
correctly with this file so it seems there is something else involved.
