This issue affects me as well. 
Setting IPv4 to Disabled, IPv6 to Ignore, and clicking Save... gives the error, "The property 'NMSettingIP6Config' / 'method' is invalid: 1". 
Ubuntu 14.04 (amd64) with network-manager version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7. 

Is an interface not intended to *only* receive incoming frames ?

Title:
  not possible to create connection with no IP addresses

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

Bug description:
  It does not seem to be possible to create network connections with no
  IP addresses., for example for passive monitoring of existing link.

  To reproduce: 
  (1) In nm-connection-editor, create a new connection of type 'Ethernet'.
  (2) In "IPv4 settings", set Method to "Disabled"
  (3) In "IPv6 settings", set Method to "Ignore".
  (4) Hit "Save"
  (5) Click on newly-created connection and hit "Edit". Look at the IPv6 tab

  What I expected to happen:
    The  Method is set to Ignore.

  What  happened instead:
    The  Method is set to Automatic.

  Follow up:
  (6) set Method to "Ignore"
  (7) Hit "Save". Observe error message: The property 'NMSettingIP6Config' / 'method' is invalid: 1
  (8) Try to repeat same operation with kde-nm-connection-editor. This editor will silently ignore any errors which disable both connections.
