In bug report you say it happens after suspend/resume, are there any other scenarios you see this behaviour? (like disassociation/association without suspend) Also you mention it comes back after some time - what is the time needed? We had reports of problems on 4313 with this patch (that's why the revert was done) but so far i assumed it was a total breakdown, in your case this seem like a transient issue.
