Hmmm, yep, look like a Confconsole bug. I think your assessment is on the money.
At the very least, it should fail gracefully, although there isn't any good reason why it shouldn't "just work"...
Unfortunately, fixing this for v15.x is unlikely, but we should definitely have a closer look for v16.0.
Whilst it's a bit of a pain, you should be able to manually set a static IP via the /etc/network/interfaces file. I don't recall the exact syntax OTTOMH, but if you google, you should be able to find it. And when I get a chance to double check it myself, I'll post back.
