Confirming in Intrepid + KDE 4.2 from PPA, knetworkmanager Version:
1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu1.8.10.3.

When trying to set a fixed IP for an interface with KNetworkmanager, the
connection will fail with a syslog message such as :

« NetworkManager: <WARN>  connection_get_settings_cb(): 
connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingIP4Config' / 
'addresses' invalid: 1
NetworkManager: <WARN>  wait_for_connection_expired(): Connection (2) 
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/7 failed to activate 
(timeout): (0) Connection was not provided by any settings service »

Tracing this it seems to relate with the following line that
KNetworkManager generates in knetworkmanagerrc for the fixed IP address
:

Value_addresses=<list>\n <list>\n  <uint32>2164435136</uint32>\n
<uint32>16777215</uint32>\n
<uint32>4261587136</uint32>\n</list>\n</list>\n

We can see here that the "list" tags open/close are doubled. If closing
KNetworkmanager and editing knetworkmanagerrc by hand, then removing the
doubled tags, and restarting KNetworkManager afterwards, the connection
will establish again with no errors - but in DHCP, it will ignore the
fixed address specification.

IMHO looks like KNetworkManager just puts wrotten values in its XML
config file and is unable to parse them properly afterwards, and sends
bullshit to networkmanager. A bug with no doubt.

knetworkmanager under kde4 doesn't recognize the static IP connections that I 
have configured.
