That *should* work...  so the secrets cache should get updated every
time nm_sysconfig_connection_update() gets called, so the only thing I
can think of is that that function isn't getting called somehow.  I
check and I can't see anything out of the ordinary during the keyfile
plugin's new connection code paths, but perhaps you could modify the
keyfile plugin a bit to drop some debug prints where that function gets
called and see if it does when the file gets dropped
into /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections ?
