Apart from the obvious fact that "it" is neither smart nor dumb - "it" does exactly what "it" was programmed to do - having static addresses in addition to dynamic is valid and sometimes useful configuration. So in this case "it" does exactly what "it" was told to do.
"It" was programmed by a human being and that human being determined the decision algorithm and prioritization (even if that happens to be "stop after the first thing and don't consider any others") in the event of multiple entries.
I have some reasons to suspect that /32 address is simply being dropped because it's validity is questionable on Ethernet. At least, when I add static addresses with more traditional netmask they are applied in addition to DHCP. NetworkManager logs may tell you more.
Just to make it absolutely clear: I *DID NOT* tell it "/32". I simply have it an address. "It" decided to add the "/32" all but it's algorithmic self. I will take a look a the logs tomorrow.
