It is possible that this is related to the "Available to all users" checkbox in the Edit Connections... -> Mobile Broadband -> Edit $connection dialog.
When that was first checked, I had to escallate to root priviledges, (presumably so the NetworkManager demon could be instructed); susequent attempts to edit the connection resulted in an error dialog, something to do with authentication or permissions lacking. Anyway, at that point, trying to delete the connection, start over, etc, reconnecting the device pegged the CPU at 100%.
