This is the problem in nm-connection-editor. The "parent interface" combo box doesn't set active item when initialized. It causes Cloned MAC and MTU not being saved when "Parent interface" was not re-selected (touched).
Created attachment 772263 [details] [PATCH] editor: correcly save VLAN MAC address and MTU This patch for RHEL6 fixes the issue. It is based on an upstream commit, however the commit had to be edited a bit for RHEL 6.5.
