nmcli (Network manager) not working after upgrade

It seems there is a bug in the command line tool "nmcli" after a recent upgrade ..
The GUI applet still works, but I can no longer start/stop connections with nmcli ..
The error when using nmcli con ... is:

Stopping Mobile Broadband Connection.
Error: Can't obtain connections: settings service is not running.

I had a script using nmcli to start stop my 3G connection .. it no longer works.
If I downgrade networkmanager network-manager-applet and any dependancies, I don't get the error above, but I still can't stop/start the interface

Anyone have a solution?

EDIT: Looks like I have struck the bug reported here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141379
