Some additions:

-Happens on Lenovo T420s too. I don't think it is truly hardware
related.

-Adding another user account and switching to and back leads to an even more arkward situation, where nm-applet creates a new connection if an already known WiFi network is selected (and asks for the password again). One can easily crate tens of connections by trying to connect again and again. It seems user rights on the connections may be the cause for this problem. 
The same thing happes sometimes if nm-applet is just restarted. So I guess nm-applet is sometimes unable to read the whole state, and thus create new connections or don't reflect state.

So I would look for multi-user setups first to reproduce this bug.

Title:
  the network indicator shows the wrong status

Status in indicator-applet package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  indicator-applet:
    Installed: (none)
    Candidate: 12.10.2+15.04.20141127.2-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
       12.10.2+15.04.20141127.2-0ubuntu1 500
          500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

  The network indicator sometimes shows the icon for wired connections
  and sometimes claims wifi without connection even though I'm
  consistently connected over wifi. I don't mean to say that it switches
  between these two or that always is wrong. But sometimes my connected
  to wifi symbol changes to wired. Other times it will change to the no
  connection wifi. The info is correct on boot, but switches over time,
  possibly after suspension.
