Hi Michael,

Strangely enough, after downgrading wpasupplicant and rebooting twice,
I was unable to reproduce the problem. (Note that I did try a reboot
before sending the original bug report.)

I have attached the syslog for what I believe to be the moment when I
updated shortly after turning on the machine this morning. Note the
last two lines when wlan0 because "unavailable" and "inactive".
