Sadly the bug also appeared with that RPM after a few tries.
I did:

sudo rpm -Uhv --force NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.2-lp150.3.1.x86_64.rpm
NetworkManager-openvpn-lang-1.8.2-lp150.3.1.noarch.rpm

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service

kquitapp5 plasmashell; sleep 1; plasmashell & disown

I'll try again with a full reboot, if I have time more for that.
But maybe there's more to it than the single commit I found in comment#7 :-/

So I'm back at NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.10 from openSUSE-15.2. (which runs
fine since 5 days - without reboot...)
