IPv4: Connection 'assume' doesn't work for implicit automatic configurations
Last modified: 2012-07-30 21:02:10 UTC
A configuration with no [ipv4] is automatically treated as automatic (DHCP). But the 'assume' code fails to recognise it as such and tears the connection down. Patch will be added promptly.

Patch from comment 1 looks like the right approach.
