I can confirm the original report.

Configure certs/keys/passwords in wpa_supplicant.conf, do "initctl stop
network-manager", then run wpa_supplicant manually and everything works
like a charm. Run network-manager, the applet or nm-connection-editor
won't let me configure the connection, and additionally get in the way
of wpa_supplicant.

It appears that newer network-manager-applet and NetworkManager
checkouts from Git as of at least 2009-10-20 might fix this problem (or
cherry-picking fixes if needed), as there are pertinent log entries, for
instance:

nm-applet:

    applet: request secrets in the applet's wireless dialog
    
    Somewhat broken by the libnm-glib settings service refactor,
    but it wouldn't have worked with system connections before anyway,
    since nothing explicitly requested system setting secrets from
    the wireless dialog. (The connection editor was OK)
    
    This commit basically refactors the population of the various
    GtkEntry widgets for secrets and the TLS private key filepicker to
    happen both at UI creation time, *and* to update them after
    getting secrets.  The wireless dialog now explicitly requests
    secrets from a connection every time that connection is selected
    from the Connection: combo, and when the secrets come back populates
    the UI with them, which triggers dialog validation, which will
    then enable the Connect... button.

    libnm-util: fix checking for TLS and TTLS phase2 secrets
    
    Two errors here; first, need_secrets_tls() was not updated correctly
    for the certificate paths changes that landed recently, and would
    have incorrectly returned "no secrets required" for the PATH scheme.
    
    Second, an incorrect strcmp() comparison in need_secrets_phase2()
    meant that the wrong TTLS phase2 method would get asked if it
    required secrets.
