I got this reply to my plea to reopen:
Is there anything on the D-Bus interface that tells us to ignore NM? If you
work out the library calls we need to do and open a PR I guess we can re-open
this.

So I'll dig around and see what I can find. 

Re: removal - yes, sure. I'm not chasing this for me but for the next poor soul
who trips across this. It's not exactly obvious what's causing the error.

Re: Discover (and Apper) - I agree. They could in theory I suppose trap the
"whilst offline" error message and provide more detail, but that'd be as kludgy
as can be - as Wikipedia says "clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to
extend and hard to maintain" - so no.
