I don't see anything that indicates a problem related to the ath 
changes.  You seem to not be getting the ssid from the ap's when the 
ssid is hidden which means either the station is not sending the proper 
probe req frames to elicit a probe response or someone (ap or sta) is 
having problems rx'ing.  To diagnose this you can use the debugging 
facilities in the net80211 layer; e.g.

ifconfig ath0 debug

should I believe generate enough debugging msgs to identify more about 
what's going on.  Otherwise you can use the wlandebug tool to enable 
more msgs; e.g.

wlandebug -i ath0 scan

I didn't see any indication of what code rev you were running that 
"worked" and you didn't indicate if you were able to pinpoint specific 
changes that caused things to stop working.

Since this problem is independent of wpa I'd recommend simplifying your 
network config; e.g. use open auth and see if you can associate with the 
ssid hidden.
