Was this run more or less at the same time on both hosts?

Even though the same SSID and channel is used, the devices are reporting
different BSSID. This is likely to cause major issues for data
connections.. Since you were able to see some traffic going on (unicast
only?), it might be possible that BSSID is used to filter packets only
for broadcast frames etc.

Which station firmware version are you using?
