I don't have a setup to reproduce the issue.
Could you thus please file the issue yourself at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues

In the end, it might turn up to be a driver or wpasupplicant issue.
But NM upstream is in a better position to help you debug this.

Once you filed the issue, please report back with the issue number, so
we can link the two bug reports.
