Works fine for me.

Do you actually have resolvconf installed?  My new-ish ubuntu system didn't. 
The first line of /etc/resolv.conf should be
"# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by 
resolvconf(8)".  If it instead says "# Generated by NetworkManager" then you 
need to install the resolvconf package and reboot.  My guess is you may have 
been in temporary limbo where resolvconf was active, but network-manager 
didn't know that yet and was still clobbering resolv.conf directly.
