A few further remarks:
When NM is stopped, it properly deconfigures the wireless interface in
wpa_supplicant.
So if you later on use wicd or ifupdown, you should be able to start
another wpa_supplicant instance. The D-Bus activated one should just do
nothing.

I tried this:
# /etc/init.d/network-manager stop

# ps aux | grep wpa_supplicant
root      1372  0.0  0.0  31224  3096 ?        Ss   Nov05   0:00
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /var/run/wpa_supplicant

# setup /e/n/i

# ifup wlan0

# ps aux | grep wpa_supplicant
root      1372  0.0  0.0  31224  3096 ?        Ss   Nov05   0:00
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -u -s -O /var/run/wpa_supplicant
root     21574  0.0  0.0  39632  1456 ?        Ss   14:26   0:00
/sbin/wpa_supplicant -s -B -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.pid -i wlan0
-W -D nl80211,wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Seems to work fine.
