A less pertinent bit was on another page that said you also need to add
the following lines to your client.ovpn before importing into
NetworkManager.

  script-security 2
  up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
  down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf


So, delete your VPN profile, re-import the new client.ovpn, edit
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<vpn_name>, run the nmcli
command, toggle VPN.

Apparently all of this is fixed in future versions of NetworkManager
scripts that just haven't made it downstream yet.  Heck, it took NM
something like 7 years to fix the flood of wifi events that hit
.xsession-errors and filled up /home partitions, so don't hold your
breath on this issue being resolved before Sid hits stable.
