After being frustrated with NM-Applet not functioning correctly since I
upgraded to 12.04, I wondered if it may be part of a larger problem.
I decided to rename the 'panel' directory for xfce4 inside of
'/home/<user>/.config/', so that it would reset the defaults of the Panel, and
then I rebooted. After that the Indicator Plugin functioned as expected with
NM-Applet showing the VPN option.
I did not see any mention within this thread of people trying to reset
their Panel to default, so I figured my solution may not be a just a
fluke just for my configuration.

Title:
nm-applet system tray drop-down menu items missing
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading Asus EEE-1215N from 11.10 --> 12.04, the nm-applet
dropdown menus, right- or left-click, on the system-tray nm icon show
only 'Enable Networking', 'Enable Wireless', 'Connection Information',
'Edit Connections...'. Other items such as the list of wired and
wireless interfaces, available hotspots, wireless connection options,
and VPN options, are not present at first. After a variable time,
usually more than 5 minutes and as much as ~1 hour after boot-up /
login, the missing items appear.
At all times the network connections, wired and wireless, work
normally, except of course that I cannot connect to a different
wireless spot or start a VPN connection. All the nm-applet menu items
appeared right away under 11.10; this delayed behavior appeared only
upon upgrading.
