How does the script in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d have anything to do with this bug? I thought that was placed there for ifupdown. This bug is about configuring VLANs with Network Manager, so that script shouldn't be relevant here.

I just tried it again today on a freshly installed Xenial desktop. The steps I took were:

(0) Install the "vlan" package.
(1) Configure the VLAN interface in the Network Manager UI (with the expected name). (see screenshot)
(2) Go to the "IPv4 Settings" tab and configure the VLAN appropriately.

This all seems to work for me now. That said, the user experience isn't as nice as it could be. (Either the "vlan" package should be installed by default, or I should be prompted to install it.) And I have to type way too much redundant information in the UI. But it seems to be working properly for me now.
