You should use "iw wlan0 scan dump" (no need for sudo, and don't scan again) to check. Because if not, then there's a bug in the references, and the entry is just being kept alive by ... something. Did you previously connect to it? Does it also happen if you never connect? Then I guess we'll need to know what the kernel version is too. :) johannes
