I've confirmed this in oneiric (0.9.1.90-0ubuntu6) and precise
(0.9.1.90-0ubuntu7).

I glanced at the network-manager-applet code and believe that wpa-none
should be supported for ad-hoc networks. I don't see any obvious fixes
in the upstream git repo, nor any related upstream bugs. However, I did
find this interesting comment in the bug tracker:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654772#c1

** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #654772

** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

Title:
  Create WPA2 adhoc is Open, not encrypted

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I create a new network with networkmanager, select wpa2 personal
  and enter a password, the network that gets created is actually Open.
  In the connection information on Ubuntu, the network ist shown as WPA2
  secured, but I can connect with other devices without entering any
  key. The network is discovered on windows and on Android (CM7) as
  OPEN!

  Using ubuntu 11.10, network-manager 0.9.1.90-0ubuntu5.1

  I couldn't find any reference to this behaviour on the net or in the bug tracker.
  bug 322902 seems similar

  Note: With standard Android, it's not possible to connect to an adhoc
  wifi. With cyanogenmod or other mods it's possible.
