Mobile network related settings are sometimes missing after boot

On Fairphone 2 with Sailfish OS 2.0.0.10, mobile network related settings (mobile network, internet sharing, PIN code and message settings) are sometimes missing after boot. I have succeeded to reproduce the problem by immediately after boot swipe to the events screen and pull down the shortcuts from the top, including the shortcuts to toggle mobile data and internet sharing on/off. If I do this quick enough, those two shortcuts are missing and the network related settings are missing from the settings menu. If I remove mobile data and internet sharing from the shortcuts, I can't reproduce it anymore. My theory is that if the action to show the network shortcuts is triggered before mobile network is fully initialised, this causes some error that blocks network settings from being added to the settings menu.
I have saved journald logs both from when it works and when it not works, and in the logs from when the settings are missing, there are these lines:

I don't remember seeing the problem on my old Jolla phone, so it would be interesting if someone could reproduce it on some other device than Fairphone 2. There is a similar problem here but I'm not sure it is the same problem.
