The managed property has nothing to do with enabling VPNs. We are not
going to change this value, since the behavior you are seeing is
expected.
Another workaround may be to remove the interface configuration from
/etc/network/interfaces; NM is most likely able to handle it just fine.

Title:
Should be Managed=true by default
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
After upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 the submenu's to be able to
connect to PPTP VPNs dissapeared. This shouldn't happen. This was
resoved by editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and
changing "managed=false" to "managed=true".
I had previously edited my /etc/network/interfaces file but all
modifications were commented out to allow Network Manager to manage
the connections. This worked correctly before the upgrade.
