Right. That's the missing useful information here. :)

Yes, I'd expect this happens whilst the client is moving. The training
stuff is all done on the beginning of the packet and channel
conditions aren't adjusted during packet reception - only upon the
next received packet.

(FYI - I've seen a similar pattern, but when i stand between the AP /
STA at > MCS13 and start waving my hands around. Just that slight
change in channel conditions == the above failure.)

So thanks for reminding us that we should take A-MPDU length into
account in our rate control code. :)
