This change breaks a couple of automated test cases: dbus_roam and
dbus_remove_connected. It looks like at least the dbus_roam case is
something that could result in breaking some deployed use cases due to
modified behavior. The PropertiesChanged event that indicates
State=completed could now go out without CurrentBSS being set. That
seems undesired or at least would require more careful consideration of
existing users of the interface and clear documentation of the potential
risks in the commit message.
