Retested with up-to-date Fedora 15:

kde-plasma-networkmanagement-0.9-0.53.20110616git.nm09.fc15.x86_64
NetworkManager-0.8.9997-5.git20110702.fc15.x86_64
kernel-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64

On my system it now finds and connects to hidden networks. I'll keep nm-applet off to monitor the situation with other networks.

Some notes for other testers:

 - make sure to delete all existing network connections first. Old connections created by nm-applet seem to confuse kde-plasma-networkmanagement.

 - make sure to delete the folder "Network Management" in your KDE wallet. Old passwords seem to confuse kde-plasma-networkmanagement.

 - (double-)clicking on a new network connection in kde-plasma-networkmanagement doesn't seem to start the connection setup editor. I had to use "Add..." in the Network Management Settings (BUG?)

 - After creating a network connection and entering the password, make sure to toggle the "System Connection" switch in the connection editor ON and then OFF. This makes sure that the password is transferred to your KDE wallet (This seems to be a problem/bug with NetworkManager. Also with nm-applet the passwords are first stored to /etc/system-config/network-scripts and after disabling the "available to all users" switch they are transferred to the GNOME keyring)
