Ok, that's your problem.  The dhclient script isn't set up to send the
returned DHCP options to NetworkManager.  So in /sbin/dhclient, right
after the lines at the top that start with "#", add:

if [ -n "${dhc_dbus}" ]; then
   /bin/dbus-send \
       --system \
       --dest=com.redhat.dhcp \
       --type=method_call \
       /com/redhat/dhcp/$interface \
       com.redhat.dhcp.set \
       'string:'"`env | /bin/egrep -v '^(PATH|SHLVL|_|PWD|dhc_dbus)\='`";
       if (( ( dhc_dbus & 31 ) == 31 )); then
	   exit 0;
       fi;
fi;
