The Murphy's effect was a late night mistake, in light of day
I can reproduce OK with 12.3-RELEASE & fails with 12.4-RELEASE:

/destdir/12.3-RELEASE/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant  -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
  Successfully initialized wpa_supplicant

I'll compare typescripts from 12.3 & 12.4 wpa_supplicant -d
