I'm adding network-manager because I've had the same on my unity7 laptop - which uses nm-applet, not indicator-network.

NM also lists these networks, so it's unlikely to be an indicator issue after all. I'll mark it Incomplete for indicator for now. I have a fix ready to test for NM in my PPA: ppa:mathieu-tl/nv-build. We can upload this to a silo in the morning.

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.10.0-4ubuntu13

---------------
network-manager (0.9.10.0-4ubuntu13) vivid; urgency=medium

  * d/p/0001-wwan-add-support-for-using-oFono-as-a-modem-manager.patch:
    Check that a connection matches the current modem IMSI when deciding
    whether it should be deemed "compatible" to use to connect to a data
    network. (LP: #1431471)
  * d/p/0002-wifi-cull-the-scan-list-before-signalling-ScanDone-b.patch:
    Update the last seen timestamp in cull_scan_list() using the new
    nm_ap_update_last_seen() function rather than setting it to time(NULL),
    otherwise the timestamp will appear too far in the future and break the
    removals on last_seen value comparison. (LP: #1427205)
