This appears to be in upstart, not network manager. Somehow the rc2 symlinks are started twice, at least I see atd complaining about being started twice as well. Only NetworkManager really fails if being started while running. I suspect that some of the underlying infrastructure like dbus does not handle this gracefully and then nm- applet connects to a different dbus than the running NetworkManager. This also explains, why a restart of NetworkManager resolves the issue.
