DaveHenson, 
It doesn't solve the bug, but I think you can solve the problem of entering your usr/pwd on each connect in terminal by adding your usr/pwd to a simple text file (e.g., file.txt) that is literally nothing but your credentials:

(line 1) usr
(line 2) pwd

located in the same dir. where your .conf  or .ovpn file is located. Be
sure also to change this credential file's permissions to read/wrt for
root only (chmod 600).

Then just change the .conf file itself to include the line 
`auth-user-pass file.txt`

Hope this helps.

Title:
  network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS
  addresses

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When IPv4 Method is set to Automatic VPN, DNS address recieved from
  OpenVPN server do not update resolv.conf.

  This can be achieved when using a standard openvpn config file by
  adding the lines:

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

  In Network-manager there seems to be no option to run connection
  specific scripts and the DNS data from the server is ignored.

  Ubuntu 13.04
  Network-manager 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu6
