This was all on Maemo 5 using the built in client (RTComm/MC ?).  I
found a related bug report for the Skype CM and posted my findings.
I got a response from Mikhail at Nokia pointing the blame on
connection managers.  I have not gotten any further feedback on how a
properly functioning connection manager should respond.
