Did you try using the same combination as the conflicting BSS, i.e.,
channel 3 HT40+? The only rule that hostapd is currently using for 40
MHz channels on 2.4 GHz band is to mandate that the same pri/sec
channels are used with any other 40 MHz BSS in the affected frequency
range.

If there is more than one 40 MHz BSS on 2.4 GHz already running with
conflicting channels, they should not really have started in the first
place.. Is that the case here?
