Anyone trying to debug this is going to need more detail than what's
been provided.  Run wpa_supplicant with the -dd option (increase
debugging level twice), and it'll spit out tons of info.  (You may want
to redirect to a file.)  Post that info.

Also, it would help to know more details of your setup: OS, wireless
chipset, kernel driver, wpa_supplicant driver, wpa_supplicant version, etc.

(I'm guessing this is the same issue as your previous mail, but without
the extra info, I have no way of knowing for sure.  I suspect both cases
are happening because wpa_supplicant isn't being informed of the
reassociation, so it isn't updating some internal state.  But when you
manually associate to a new AP, it gets notified.)
