So despite the broad cross-section of drivers being affected, Dan Williams on the networkmanager team still thinks this is a driver bug, and still thinks that periodic scanning is a good thing (completely ignoring the network lag it causes whenever a scan is done). See his followup:

As I already stated in my previous message on the list, I've already spent as much time as I can afford on this, and I prefer the behavior with my patch to a NM that continues to invoke useless scans. If anyone else wants to try the NM_ACTIVE_AP_DEBUG test and report the results to the networkmanager list, please do.
