This bug has been re-discovered in Debian Squeeze (6.0). My home wifi is protected by WPA2 Personal and the SSID is not broadcasted. The connection is marked with the checkmark "Allow all users to use this connection" (or something along that line...).
Although it is possible to add the connection and stay connected, after a reboot, any user will have to enter the root password in order to connect to this wifi connection again. Network manager applet doesn't show this connection in the list of available (I would expect to remember this connection after I connect once). I think it is not correct to ask for root permission to connect to a hidden wifi network. If I make the access point to broadcast the SSID, everything works fine, but for me this is a security issue, I want to be able to keep the SSID hidden.
