From DBus org.freedesktop.NetworkManager i gather that the name actually gets changed to replace "!" with "_".

Invoking org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device::Disconnect on the connection works, but after that plasma-nm fails to reconnect to it with "Failed to find a compatible device for this connection". This does not happen if the connection name does not include "!"
