For a little clarification of my test case, I'm using Peter Oh's DFS
patchset from this
mailing list with some memory fixes on top. It's currently WIP, so I
don't posted it yet.
The same issues may also surface if one uses the AP mode of
wpa_supplicant, which also
supports DFS.

Thanks to Daniel Golle, who was asking for clarification.
