Update to network-manager-gnome 0.7.1 (as commented above) has not changed behaviour.
This may be a wider problem than just USB mobile broadband hot-plugging. I booted with my wireless network 'hard' switched off (on a Lenovo T500). When I switched it on, the network adapter was not recognised.

Looking for similar existing bug now.
