I wonder if that's the same bug as:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276485
or a different one. Maybe file a new upstream bug at bugs.kde.org?

Downgrading wouldn't have restored your connections anyway, the migration 
process deletes the connections in the old format.



This is all the fault of several bad aligning circumstances: The 
NetworkManager update broke the previous kde-plasma-networkmanagement build, 
forcing us to get the new one out ASAP. The NM update got tested, but 
apparently only by GNOME users and by KDE users testing the new kde-plasma-
networkmanagement (for which it fixed a showstopper issue, which made us 
actually want that update pushed quickly), so nobody noticed that it broke 
the previous kde-plasma-networkmanagement build. (When it got noticed, it 
was too late, the update was already pushed as "stable".) Now, 
unfortunately, it looks like we have no other choice than getting the kde-
plasma-networkmanagement update out no matter what it breaks.
