May be it includes some workaround?
You do not need to fight with devs, i think they are agree that some
thing is wrong. But believe me, there are so many access points, which
make problems or wear things. If you have a bug, does not mean other
user have it.
If it depends on some AP option, it would be good to know which one.
Then it will be easier to find some fix.

Beside, how many clients use this AP? How big is the distance? What do
you configure in AdHock mode?
