Maybe this is only for NetworkManager, I don't see such an option for

Every time the NIC is brought up, it should assume it's on a different
network and run the dhcp client. What possible justification is there
for not doing so?

Sure, I'm pretty certain that is the current situation. However, "being
brought up/down" != "cable being plugging in/out". (afaik).

How is plugging in a cable supposed to be different from using
ifdown/ifup?

The former is a physical status, the latter an admin desire :-)

For instance, plugging in the cable does not imply you also want the
interface brought up.
