This document (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager0.7 - in section titled 'Creating/Modifying a User connection') has an interesting claim:
Hint Auto created connections are not editable. Modifying them without changing names will not be saved
Yet to confirm with a reboot, but custom DNS servers remained in /etc/resolv.conf after a variation on this sequence:
- Edit Connections... - Edit 'Auto eth0' - Change to Automatic (DHCP) addresses only in 'IPv4 Settings' tab - Added DNS Servers 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2 - Change 'Auto eth0' to 'DHCP+static-DNS' (arbitrary name) and 'Close' - Verify /etc/resolv.conf contains custom DNS servers - Uncheck 'Enable Networking' to disable networking and verify /etc/resolv.conf empty - Re-check 'Enable Networking'
