As a clarification, why/how do we get into the situation that the same
BSSIDs exists with the wrong SSID in the supplicant?

Did the AP change its SSID and we still have the old one in the cache?

If that is the case, then maybe what we should be doing is to verify
that the BSS parameter change count matches. If not, it makes sense to
reject the BSS for now, which should trigger an ML probe request to
update the information and the next attempt will work fine.
