Whether this is a bug or feature request, I don't know, but to be sure,
it is possible to do this with a .conf file and "sudo service openvpn
start" and not possible to do it via network-manager-openvpn (unless you
count disabling dnsmasq--I'm curious what side effects this has).  As
described in the original report, I have verified that these lines in a
.conf file allow the server to configure DNS (as long as the server
pushes 3 or more DNS servers):

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

but network-manager-openvpn does not support the 'up' and 'down'.

This same issue was addressed here:

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
