Which version of wpa_supplicant are you looking at?
wpa_supplicant_event_disassoc() clears wpa_s->bssid by calling
wpa_supplicant_mark_disassoc(). wpa_supplicant_disassociate() does not
seem to do this, though. I think it would be reasonable to modify
wpa_supplicant_disassociate() to use wpa_supplicant_mark_disassoc() for
this (after having called wpa_clear_keys() which needs the
wpa_s->bssid).

That's interesting.. I haven't seen this myself, but this looks like a
possible path in the case when wpa_supplicant_disassociate() is used.

Are you doing anything with the client (e.g., wpa_cli commands) or just
remove the AP and after some time bring it back?
