This sounds a lot like a multi-BSS issues that were discovered
recently on AP branch firmware.
See commit:
ath10k: fix multi BSSID with WPA on FW 10.1
You could try applying the commit and remove the following code from it:
if (arvif->vdev_type != WMI_VDEV_TYPE_AP)
return;
The commit was originally only tested against AP interfaces but I was
suspecting the same thing (i.e. corrupted Tx) could be happening on
multi-STA.
