It may not be the same bug, but this problem persists in 15.10 for "wired connections" (lock icon appears OK for WiFi connections). My navigating to the VPN Connections sub-menu, you can visually verify if the connection is encrypted by observing if a configuration is highlighted.
The vulnerability that commenter Forest (Foresto) referred to is still present for users with a line connection.
