I just started testing the 0.9.6-rc1 packages in experimental and I am
seeing this same behavior there as well.  And only with gnome3, with the
fallback session the auth dialog comes up as usual.

The following workaround works for me:

    cd /usr/lib/gnome-shell
    ln -s ../NetworkManager/nm-openconnect-auth-dialog

and then restart gnome-shell or log out and log in.  This seems to be
the only path where gnome-shell is looking for the auth-dialog
executable [1].
