I started experimenting with Xubuntu 21.04 hirsute I've noted the following things:

1. The default hirsute install currently installs newer versions of network-manager dependency packages (1.30.0-1ubuntu3) with the sole exception being network-manager-gnome
2. The default hirsuite installed version of network-manager-gnome is 1.18.0-1ubuntu2 which is very similar in version to the 1.18.24 in Xubuntu 20.04.02

When network-manager-gnome-1.18.0 is installed in hirsute my bug is replacable.
If I upgrade to network-manager-gnome-1.22.0 from impish (which I can do on hirsute thanks to the higher dependency package versions) the bug disappears and everything appears to work.

Upstream has also seemed to imply in my original bug report to them that work had been done as of 1.22 of the upstream packages which might have fixed my bug.

My experience seems to suggest that my problem is already solved as of network-manager-gnome-1.22.0, but it looks like 1.22 hasn't been backported to focal. What would it take to backport 1.22.0 to focal for those of us stuck on LTS releases?
