This appears to be KDE bug number 209673. There is a long thread on the KDE bug tracker about this.
It is also likely the real cause of my earlier report to Debian bug number 574714 against wpa_supplicant, although the original reporter of this bug does not mention if they were using network-manager-kde. I will try and confirm if it works OK with the gnome applet the next time I bring the laptop onto campus.
