Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| Frequency leakage is a complication inherent to the design of
| 802.11abg, so we're not seeing anything new here. The number of
| misses seems high, though. And of course none of this gives the
| firmware an excuse for crashing.

So... it's a firmware problem we can't do anything about?

Beacon packets contain the channel they're getting transmitted on to
avoid problems from bleedthrough.  If you see a beacon explaining that
it was transmitted on channel 1 on channel 3 there's enough information
to not get confused.
