Warning, my brain is dealing with 4 year old information again, YMMV.....
but maybe some insight will help... I could be offbase,
Adrian would know best what his mkfwimage supports.

its possible it was different offsets so that the mkfirmware image had to
be modified to build the correct image, the image you are building requires
XS2-8 to be correct, I believe the ap91 image is using XS2 and not XS2-8
....... Adrian again will have to validate AP91 configuration for XS2-8, or
create a config that uses it.


Okay digging back through this a bit in the UBNT SDK, Yes I still have
one..... it shows
        -$(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/mkfwimage \
                -B XS2-8 -v XS2.ar2316.OpenWrt.$(REVISION) \
                -k $(BIN_DIR)/openwrt-$(BOARD)-vmlinux.lzma \
                -r $(BIN_DIR)/openwrt-$(BOARD)-root.$(1) \
                -o $(BIN_DIR)/openwrt-$(BOARD)-ubnt2-pico2-$(1).bin


and XS2-8 is for PicosStations built with
mkfwimage -i XS2-8.txt -v XS2.ar2316.OpenWRT-kamikaze -o
openwrt-picostation2-squashfs.bin


which required a file called XS2-8.txt

kernel 0x01 0xA8030000 0x000D0000 0x80041000
0x80041000 openwrt-vmlinux.lzma
rootfs 0x02 0xA8100000 0x006C0000 0x00000000
0x00000000 .openwrt-vmlinux.squashfs
