That sounds like a UI issue..

There have been number of Windows drivers that fail to connect with
PSK+EAP, but hopefully fixes for most of those are available nowadays.

Well, there is an option of running multiple BSSes (i.e., one beaconing
BSS with WPA2-PSK and another one with WPA2-EAP) to work around this
type of issues. If your WLAN hardware and driver supports this, that
would likely be the easiest option if there is a station that cannot be
fixed to support multiple AKMs.
