After digging a bit into linux-stable.git I found the culprit: this regression comes from commit # 6c50f9459e62eb133563fd23606f68bfc9d120e8 (rt2x00: Use addr_mask to disallow invalid MAC addresses in mutli-bssid mode) ; reverting it fixes the problem, tested by me in compat-drivers-2013-03-28-5-u . I can't tell if reverting that commit adds any trouble as I'm not a developer; however I'm sure you guys will know how to handle the situation.
Basically the driver got more picky and only allows the last 3 bit of the MAC address changed. I just found out that if you generate your new MAC accordingly it works!
I wonder wether this is addr_mask is necessary for all RT chipsets, since mine (RT5372) happily accepted different MAC addresses before, also in multi-AP configurations...
