The same situation here. I have a configured GSM connection with all the credentials saved in connection options (authentication and PIN). nm-applet refuses to autostart on login and if I run it by hand I get the same messages as in post #1 (nm-applet appears in taskbar). Then I cannot use my GSM connection (np-applet asks me for credentials notoriously, as if it could not see the saved options).
I've noticed also that if I run the keyring daemon by hand: $ gnome-keyring-daemon -f GNOME_KEYRING_CONTROL=/tmp/keyring-PTN1MI SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-PTN1MI/ssh GNOME_KEYRING_PID=7595 [...] and try to use my GSM connection, then I get an authentication request from the keyring daemon ('Enter password to unlock your login keyring') and everything is OK. I guess that this is rather a problem with keyring than with NetworkManager. $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
