If the bug is really annoying for you and you can not wait for a proper fix, you can use a full automation workaround (bit complicated) http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-auto-connect-ubuntu-1204-gsm-mobile-broadband-connection-on-boot-startup-service#version2

I decided for a less complicated workaround creating a script

    #!/bin/bash
    nmcli -t con up id "simyo"

Note: "simyo" is the name of my GSM/UMTS provider and the name of the connection in the NetworkManager. See `man nmcli` for documentation.

Then I bound that simple script to a keyboard shortcut (WindowsKey+F5).
