A kludge to fix this is to make resolv.conf immutable. Then
NetworkManager or nothing else can interfere with it.
Set up /etc/resolv.conf as you want it.
Then as root:
chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf
Now nothing can change /etc/resolv.conf
If you need to edit it later then as root:
chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
A kludge but it works ;-)
