I did change wlan0ap and wlan0sta interface unregistering, so that might
have caused some issues. I tested this only with Linux 2.6.0-test2..
Which kernel version are you using?

Which station firmware version are you using?

Did you have wlan0sta interface UP when killing hostapd? If yes, what
happens if you first set it down and only after that kill hostapd?
