'ifconfig ath0 scan' hangs under 6.0-STABLE (resolved?)

Poking through ieee80211_ioctl.c in the kernel, I see this:
case IEEE80211_IOC_SCAN_REQ:
if (ic->ic_opmode == IEEE80211_M_HOSTAP) /*
XXX ignore */
break;
error = ieee80211_setupscan(ic, ic->ic_chan_avail);
if (error == 0) /* XXX background scan */
error = ieee80211_new_state(ic, IEEE80211_S_SCAN, -1);
break;
So, it looks like if you're in hostap mode, it just ignores the
request? Unfortunately, the ifconfig code is looping waiting for a
response. Oh well...
