I have tested this on Jaunty and as far as I can see user setting the MTU within NM do get applied to the network interface. Even after disable and enable networking. NM version is 0.7~~svn20081018t105859`-0ubuntu1.

What did I do:
1. Look at the MTU via "ifconfig eth0" which was 1500
2. Went to Network Connections->eth0->Edit and Customize MTU to 500
3. OK and Close
4. Disable Networking and then Enable Networking
5. Check if the MTU is still there within Network Connections->eth0->Edit
6. Check MTU with "ifconfig eth0"
