Thr attached script is a work around (tested on 12.04LTS)  put into /etc/init.d as mm_monitor and execute
$ sudo uptate-rc.d mm_monitor defaults

The script run as a daemon ensuring that nmcli nm wwan on is called
whenever modem manager adds a device.  Beside solving the bug as
described it also ensure that auto-connect system-accessible WWAN
devices are connected on startup (which was my original problem)

Hoping it helps
TH

Title:
  Autoconnect to 3G network only works after manually enabling mobile
  broadband after modem inserted/bootup/resume

Status in NetworkManager:
  Confirmed
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  NetworkManager does not connect to my 3G provider at login, even
  though it is configured for automatic connection.

  What I expect:
  - When selecting the option "connect automatically" in the network-setting for a mobile connection, it should connect automatically, like it has until Ubuntu 11.04.

  What happens:
  - When I plug in the modem (USB; e.g. "UMTS-Stick"), it appears as available connection, but does not connect;
