 I'm on ucode42.fw (D11 core rev 42), firmware 832.127 (2014-09-19); my driver checks SHM UCODEREV against ≤0x128. I don't have a captured rev number to compare against yours off-hand — what ucode rev/date does your driver target? I've mapped a decent chunk of the real MAC event loop (dispatcher + wait points) and the watchdog tick (SHM 0x158, ~1.024s) by decompiling wl, so a diff is doable if I know what to diff against. Game for merging with #ifdefs if the divergence is small.
