This failure mode seems reasonable to me; I suspect a patch to the strings suggesting that people install network-manager-gnome in that pop up message would also be useful, but that's getting into bike-shedding territory. [And I fully understand if the gnome maintainers are not interested in making such a patch.] So I believe a Breaks: coupled with an optional Recommends: network-manager-gnome would be sufficient here.
