I do agree with you, that it probably would be a good idea to switch back to knetworkmanager, even though this plasma-widget is nice and locks promising. From this bug report it seems that more people are affected by this bug, and probably even more to come when 9.04 is released (based on earlier work with NM and hidden networks). Finally other bugs that has similar problems (like Bug #334122) would be solved too.
I've been hacking around in the source code from KDE and the bug rapports there, and the ToDo list does not even lists this problems, despite the open KDE bug rapport you mentioned earlier. Further more the authors mentions somewhere, that a fully working application isn't to be expected before KDE 4.3 arrives.

Unfortunately, right now I,m not able to get knetworkmanager connect to hidden APs. This seems to be some sort of broken link to kwalletmanager, an I don't know if there is simple solution to this.
