Okay, I just found out where this is coming from and how to fix it.

Grepping /var/log/kern.log for part of the connection name (not UID) gave me the answer:

Basically Bluetooth manager runs separately from networkmanager and re-adds the connection to network-manager on startup.

Once you actually go to bluetooth manager and remove the connection from there, it is then listed in nm-applet as "Unmanaged" until the next reboot where it's gone and stays gone.

Still an usability bug IMO.
