Just for the record, nm-applet does not always properly clear it's state.
When I suspend/move/resume the applet still "remembers" the networks
it saw before the suspend.  I've certainly seen this with a relatively
up-to-date Fedora 7 system (which means NM-0.6.5).  So maybe the applet
is caching the state and not clearing out the list properly on suspend
or resume?
