It is **not**.

I assume that NM is suppose to be examining the lease file before 
dhclient starts because it sure looks like it is dhclient that is 
creating the default.

I have a real-hardware system that I can reboot or whatever so if you 
need me to test something, just tell me.  I know that it is frustrating 
on both sides if I say there is a problem and you cannot reproduce it.

If you need to see the configuration file, then I should probably open a 
bugzilla report and file it there.

BTW, I tried putting the default-duid in /etc/dhclient.leases and also 
in /var/lib/dhclient.leases and the only thing that seems to work is 
/var/lib/NetworkManager/dhclient6-<whatever>.lease
