My bad, here is what  I am doing:

1. Used a XO with fc18 build to create the "Sugar Ad-hoc Network 2".
2. Then, from another XO with fc20 build, and before I connect to the
Ad-hoc 2 network, I edit that connection using nm-connection-editor:
(a)edit "IPv4 Settings" for the "Sugar Ad-hoc Network 2", (b) set the
method to "manual", (c) set the (address,mask,gateway). and save.
3. Then, from the neighborhood, I connect to the ad-hoc 2 network and
everything works.

You are right, thanks for the clarifications. I might have been confused by
previous tests.

I have no idea why changing the method from "local-link" to "manual", and
manually assigning the address, mask and gateway makes such difference.

If you want to try this, set the address and mask to its original/same
values, and for the gateway use the first XO address...

I followed the same path yesterday, and could not figure it out.

Similarly in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jarabe/model/neighborhood.py:

    def _start_listening(self):
        bus = dbus.Bus()
        obj = bus.get_object(ACCOUNT_MANAGER_SERVICE, self.object_path)
        obj.Get(ACCOUNT, 'Connection',
                reply_handler=self.__got_connection_cb,
                error_handler=partial(self.__error_handler_cb,
                                      'Account.GetConnection'))
        obj.connect_to_signal(
            'AccountPropertyChanged', self.__account_property_changed_cb)


When connecting to ad-hoc, "AccountPropertyChanged" is never emitted, as it
happens in other scenarios.

The process also exists when changing the "IPv4 Settings/Method"...
