I am experiencing the same issue here. Just rebuilding the old package, thus NetworkManager-openvpn-1.0.8-1.el7, didn't change anything. However simply rebuilding NetworkManager-openvpn-1.2.6-1.fc26 for RHEL 7 did the trick and editing works now using MATE. Jon, can you please share your thoughts about rebasing the package in EPEL 7 simply?
Now that EPEL is on 7.3, I'll do it.
