Ok, the logs indicate that the driver simply doesn't see any scan
results:

1379858724.381522: Received scan results (0 BSSes)

Then 20 seconds later (after the explicit iwlist), it finds some scan
results:

1379858746.953924: Received scan results (3 BSSes)

So I'm not sure what's going on here, but I don't think NetworkManager
is the issue; it's likely in the supplicant's scanning code or in the
driver itself.  NetworkManager asks the supplicant to scan with both the
wildcard SSID and any hidden-tagged SSID, and the wildcard SSID should
ensure that all available APs are found.

Johannes, does anything else jump out at you in the logs?
