Isn't the issue you describe more a shortcoming of the wireless driver rather than hostapd/wpa_supplicant? The driver is able to notify hostapd of a channel switch on the AP interface, which might happen if a STA sharing the same radio got connected. Some fullmac drivers behave this way and I think it is correct. hostapd also handles it more or less OK. Here is a quite old commit which does something to that effect: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=c4f7863eae6f580a0373cbd8dc2731d082570e69 Did you consider doing something like this? I know it is not easy to update all the drivers in the kernel...
I didn't know some drivers already did that. Thanks for the link, I will take a closer look. Now I wonder how many drivers already implement it and whether it makes sense or not for hostapd/wpa_supplicant to take care of it for the ones that don't (provided that it doesn't prevent other drivers from behaving normally).
