I had forgotten to enable debug output to the system log, here are the
messages with logger_syslog=-1 and logger_syslog_level=1:

Mar 12 12:34:26 osgiliath hostapd: wlan0: STA 00:0e:35:fd:81:94 WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (RSN)

The first four "WPA: sending 1/2 msg of Group Key Handshake" are the
ones causing the "CCMP: received packet without ExtIV flag from
00:02:6f:37:fc:68" messages on the client.

Would you like me to open a bug report about this?

Brix
