Should I start filing bug > reports? It seems that, for using static IP address, it's indeed better to use the old network daemon than NetworkManager. I had the same problem too and have read many, many reports of similar ones on the net. Regarding the system-config-network problem with the netmask, this is already reported in Redhat's bugzilla and a new version of system- config-network which solves the problem has already been push to updates. It's not available for download yet, but should be in the next few days. For now, if you want to use static addresses, you need to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth* files to correct the netmask.
