Plasma NM's openconnection support requires openconnect 3.03. If openconnect was not installed or a version below 3.03 was installed when Plasma NM was compiled than the support is automatically disabled.

Which openconnection version is installed in your system? If you did not compile Plasma NM yourself then that information can be misleading, but if KUbuntu ships with openconnect < 3.03 than it is very likely they compiled Plasma NM with that version and that explains your problem.

I've got the following version of openconnect

root@dreamer ~: aptitude show openconnect
Version: 3.02-1

Which is basically shipped with Kubuntu by default. So is this Kubuntu specific bug and I need to report it for them?

Also I've got KDE from kubuntu-updates ppa @ https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ppa

You need to upgrade to openconnect 3.03 and recompile Plasma NM, so yes, it is a bug in Kubuntu. That is why I maked it as downstream.
