Yes - highly (and easily) reproducible.

1. Use Windows as Server (I'm using XP), XUbuntu as Client
2. Install OpenVPN on Windows XP (download here 
http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe)
3. Configure simple server on Windows (follow these instructions 
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html)
4. Launch OpenVPN GUI on Windows (do NOT connect on windows)
5. Set up VPN Connection on XUbuntu - to match OpenVPN connection created on 
Windows Server
6. Connect on Windows
7. Connect on XUbuntu
8. Connection will be marked as "established" on XUbuntu - similar message seen 
on Windows
9. Verify connection by pinging server from client, and vice-versa (use IP 
addresses as defined in configuration). Will require Windows Firewall to be 
updated to return ICMP Echo Packets.
10. Disconnect VPN connection on Server/Windows (connection is not lost on 
Client/XUbuntu side)
11. Disconnect  VPN connection on Client/XUbuntu side
12. Reconnect on Client/XUbuntu side. Connection will be shown as established 
on Client/XUbuntu (through pop-up window). Connection does not show as 
connected on Server/Windows.
13. Attempt to ping server from client - no success.

On step 12 above, the network-manager erroneously assumes the connection
is established when it is done initializing - even before it made a
connection with the server. Refer to the log output I provided with the
original bug report.

Hope this helps.
