I think your problem will be solved in the development with the
following commit

WPS: Cancel WPS operation on PBC session overlap detection

Previously, wpa_supplicant remaining in scanning state without
trying to connect, but there is no particular need to do that.
Instead, cancel WPS operation completely whenever PBC session
overlap is detected.

please try the test case with the latest wpa-supplicant tree pulled from
git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git
Please do:
1.git clone git://w1.fi/srv/git/hostap.git
2.cd hostap/wpa_supplicant/
3.Please do the necessary changes in the .config file to enable WPS
4.It has the below fix which aborts the scan operation when PBC
overlap is found.
