The kernel doesn't set IPv4 addresses.

Actually, it seems like they now do, if not by default.  If you edit the
details for an interface and change the IPv6 settings method from "ignore"
to  "automatic", it cleans out the stale address as soon as you disconnect.
It seems like network-manager just ignores IPv6 by default.  Maybe that
default ought to be reviewed.
