Is there any chance you could run wireshark on the interface and see if
any DHCP packets get out?  This is quite odd and it would point to
either a misconfiguraton of dhcpcd on NM's part (maybe sendign the wrong
command-line arguments) or it could point to a problem in dhcpcd.  It
might also be useful to strace dhcpcd to see what it's doing.

The logs show the problem, but don't really provide any insight into
what might be going on.  The other alternative may be to recompile NM
and send any debugging or verbose command-line arguments that dhcpcd
might use to get more output from it about the issue.
