Can you get output from NM?  It goes to wherever syslog will put it.
The DNS settings shouldn't change unless NM thinks that the VPN
connection has dropped.  Also, I think debian uses resolvconf, and
something else may be poking resolvconf to overwrite the VPN settings.
NM logs would help determine whether it's NM rewriting /etc/resolv.conf,
or whether something else is the culprit through resolvconf.
