In my optionion this is not a medium bug, but a really serious one!
I acknowledge there is a workaround, but that means one has to know there is actually a bug.

Most people will spend lots of time debugging their wifi client and ap because the error just states:
'wlan0: deauthenticating from 98:fc:11:f2:f7:43 by local choice (reason=3)'

This error message is of a such generic type, I wonder why it doesn't just say: 'An error occurred'.

If one looks up the error code, he/she is even distracted furthermore:
reason 3 = 'Deauthenticated because sending STA is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS'

Because all the symptons point to the direction of a generic error with the ap or wifi connection,
I propose to change the importance to 'serious'
