IEEE 802.11-2012 section 10.3.3.2: ...an AP shall inform associated STAs that the AP is moving to a new channel and/or operating class and maintain the association by advertising the switch using Extended Channel Switch Announcement elements in any transmitted Beacon frames, Probe Response frames, and Extended Channel Switch Announcement frames until the intended channel switch time. Perhaps we can still ignore them though? I suppose we'd expect to receive some other frame with the ECSA before it actually happens.
