The unsupported jumbo message might be a clue. When we jump to the next:

hardware it isn't. In theory, we might hit the bug with rx buffers
exhaustion, because the test (bf_last == bf) doesn't work as expected then.

This seems to be happening somewhat regularly now - I've got a small
collections of the warnings (I'll include them below in case they are
any help):

All of them are almost the same scenario, the last one was data not beacon, but it's irrelevant. And previously I was wrong, we move the buffer to the end even on hardware side. Thanks so far, I personally see no reason for this to happen yet.
