Comment(by dsd):

 Some messy scripts I'm using to reproduce this, which connect/reconnect in
 a loop until failure:

 main script
 {{{
 while true; do
         echo "connecting"
         sh nmconnect.sh
         conn=0
         for i in $(seq 0 10); do
                 sleep 5
                 if ./nmchkconn.sh; then
                         conn=1
                         break
                 fi
         done
         if [[ $conn == 0 ]]; then
                 echo "failed to connect!"
                 exit 1
         fi
         echo "connected, now mesh"
         sh nmmesh.sh
         sleep 10
 done
 }}}

 nmconnect.sh
 {{{
 dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
         /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager \
         org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.setActiveDevice \
         objpath:"/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth0" \
         string:"default"
 }}}

 nmchkconn.sh
 {{{
 out=$(dbus-send --print-reply --system
 --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager \
         /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/eth0 \
         org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Devices.eth0.getProperties | \
         sed -n 7p)

 state=${out:10:1}
 echo "state $state"
 [[ $state == "7" ]] && exit 0
 exit 1
 }}}

 nmmesh.sh
 {{{
