Yes, I had to reboot the system to get to the point where i could actually file the bug.

Here's what I'd like you to try. Get your machine into this state, and check the output of 'rfkill list'. Then press the wlan hotkey and check the output of the same command again. Is the state of any of the devices changing?

Yep... rfkill shows a soft block going on and off as I hit Fn-F2 (the wireless hotkey). However, while the network indicator menu reflects this by showing Wireless Enabled with or without a checkmark, the wireless device never re-connects to the AP and no available APs appear in the Network indicator menu.
