I tracked this one down too -- and filed a FB for it. After filing a TSI.
The issue seems to be that, for whatever reason, if they are both trying to access the preferences (the VPN manager and the filter manager), it fails. I changed my code to in addition, listen for notifications about changes to the VPN and filter, and when one completed, try the other one if it hadn't been enabled yet.
