Is there any way stopping the kernel from inotify-ing a directory? Couldn't 
find one yet.
So we could add a test to the ebuild, whether it is a upgrade from <0.5.9 and 
prevent reloading of the files until the next reboot.
Maybe this could find it's way into an eclass, because other 
applications/daemons like dbus will surely suffer from the same problem when 
having the next $PV_MAJOR upgrade, so we could use the functions global.
Should I open a bug for tracking this issue?

KNetworkmanager works really fine here, except of some troubles concerning 
ipw3945+WPA which should be fixed in the next NetworkManager release (I hope 
it gets released soon, currently, my WLAN is only WEP "encrypted" :-/ ).
