Not specifically, but you could certainly add some debugging
information.  For example, you'd want to do something like:

diff --git a/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/nm-keyfile-connection.c b/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/nm-keyfile-connection.c
index 9d9427b..ae0dc51 100644
--- a/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/nm-keyfile-connection.c
+++ b/system-settings/plugins/keyfile/nm-keyfile-connection.c
@@ -72,6 +72,18 @@ update (NMExportedConnection *exported,
 	NMKeyfileConnectionPrivate *priv = NM_KEYFILE_CONNECTION_GET_PRIVATE (exported);
 	gboolean success;
 
+{

+GError *foo_error = NULL;
+foo = nm_connection_new_from_hash (new_settings, &foo_error);

 	success = NM_EXPORTED_CONNECTION_CLASS (nm_keyfile_connection_parent_class)->update (exported, new_settings, error);
 	if (success) {
 		NMConnection *connection;

That will dump out *exactly* what your tool is sending to the system
settings service.  I'm quite interested to hear if that helps figure out
what the problem is, and if so, what the issue was.
