Since I could easily reproduce it, I ran git bisect.

7a9c36722511ce4df88b76cceceb241d6c6a151e is the first bad commit

     DBus: Add "sae" to interface key_mgmt capabilities

     This will be present when the driver supports SAE and it's included in
     the wpa_supplicant build.

Reverting that commit on top of 2.10 I was again able to successfully 
establish a connection.

The debian build uses CONFIG_SAE=y.
Is it possible that wpasupplicant reports that the driver (iwlwifi) 
supports SAE but my hardware does not actually support SAE?
