Connect via Net ID works without a problem. I'm using meshctl with zephyr's mesh_shell (upstream version) I provision the shell and turn on it's gatt-proxy. Then I exit meshctl, run it again and issue a "connect 0". It reconnects to the mesh without a problem. If I turn off the shell's gatt-proxy, start meshctl, issue a "connect 0" and then issue a shell "ident". I get no connection. The ident command only transmits advertisements for a short period of time. The CONN_TYPE_IDENTITY path in parse_mesh_service_data() seems broken. The comparison of data[0] and connection.type fails. The value of data[0] is 1 (CONN_TYPE_IDENTITY) and the value of connection.type is 0. Below is sniffer output of the two advertisements.
