No, that's how it originally worked, but in the current version of the
code, ignore-carrier means:

  - You can activate a connection with purely static IP configuration
    even when the device doesn't have carrier.

  - If you lose carrier when a connection (static or dynamic) is active,
    that connection won't be dropped.

But you can't activate a DHCP connection on an ignore-carrier device if
it doesn't have carrier.
