Alright, I found a _simple_ workaround.

just compile your client's wpa_supplicant with gnutls (and don't forget to 
enable gnutls extras) instead of openssl!

This will let you associate.. 
But WPA doesn't work for me as madwifi/hostapd seems to have a different
opinion about the RSN flags when WPA is enabled... So, try to force 
"proto=RSN" in your wpa_supplicant.conf if you see messages about
"IE in 3/4 msg does not match with IE in Beacon/ProbeResp".
