I just noticed (from looking at the NetworkManager source code) that -1 actually is a valid value for the "ip6-privacy" option. It means "unknown". However, if I understand the code applying that configuration properly, "unknown" and "disabled" are treated exactly the same. Please let me know how I should deal with that in the GUI.

However, that document says the default value is "-1", while it also says that only 0, 1 and 2 are valid for this option. Therefore, I chose 0 to be the default in the Knm::Ipv6Setting class, but the option is always put into the NM config map - even if it is zero.
