Thanks for the cogent summary, Alexander.

Questions:
- Is a fix available? (Can you post it to the bug?)
- Under what circumstances will a user have an /etc/network/interfaces with no 'auto' lines like this, that they want NM to manage? Will a user ever have such a config as a result of Ubuntu upgrades, or does this only happen if a user has manually edited /etc/network/interfaces?

Design-wise, I'm not sure why NM should be managing any interfaces from /e/n/i that don't have either "auto" or "allow-hotplug" set. Why is the example you pointed to one that NM should *not* set in unmanaged mode?
