My experience is that a large number of incompentant PMs seem to be teflon coated and go from strength to strength in an organisation leaving a trail of crap behind, none of which seems to stick to them.

Ah, yes this is true but, to be fair, developers do this as well. 
Sometimes it is easier to escape from the mistakes of inexperience than
to stay and sort them out.

I'd like to step away from a view of conflict between PM's and
developers.  If you take a step back you see that the project managers
needs are as rational in the context of their job as the developers are
from their  own.  It's senior management attitude and ambition that
causes conflict.

Your reasoning is excellent -- it's only your basic assumptions that are
wrong.
