Just reproduced this with following commands;
(I was playing with packet injection, I use recently posted patch for that)
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
ifconfig wlan0 up
aireplay-ng --test wlan0
ifconfig wlan0 down
iwconfig wlan0 mode managed
Then I disable/enable wireless in nm-applet, and get something funny:
wlan0 Scan completed :
