This manifests as a station thinking it's still associated but the athp + hostap combo not; net80211 sends unauthed error mgmt frames back to the station but because the subtype matches QOSNULL they're dropped.
my athp_send_mgmt() routine was an initial hack to filter out scan related frames before we had proper offloaded scan support and yes, QOSNULL / NO_DATA frames won't show up in this transmit path.
