They are if the files change and a watch has been placed on the
directory that contains the files.

Is the keyfile plugin definitely getting loaded
via /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf?

Well, it certainly should if the keyfile plugin gets loaded by
nm-system-settings.  The function
system-settings/plugins/keyfile/plugin.c :: read_connections() does this
for you when the plugin gets initialized.  Can you check to see whether
read_connections() ever gets called?
