(Get the code!)
The problem is that there's no obvious way to tell the user why they can't save.
If you've created a network by mistake for which you don't have the password, why keep it there and try to edit it? You may just as well delete it to avoid it trying to connect automatically.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd leave things as they are right now -- using a dialog once Save is clicked is clumsy and looks bad, and if you're changing things for a connection you normally use (as opposed to one clicked by mistake), you'll usually know what you've just changed and be able to get back to it.
If there's something that can be changed; it would be something like changing the label for the Save button to say "Invalid property: XYZ", or so; or showing such a message on all tabs when editing, but it would need both design guidance and discussion upstream. Please file a bug about this on GNOME Bugzilla.
