As far as I can tell, it seems to be an AP bug, but I had no idea this
was so common.

Testing with hostapd, I can switch bandwidth between 20 and 40 MHz just
fine, and it only prints "new config is ..." and then carries on.

Since you seem to be able to reproduce this easily, can you run tcpdump
with the beacon info?

sudo iw wlan0 interface add moni0 type monitor flags none
sudo ip link set moni0 up
sudo tcpdump -i moni0 -s0 -w /tmp/dump

and then wait for the problem to occur and send me (privately) the dump
file (best compressed)?

There's also a bug here:
