It seems correct, we have for example:
#define BCN_MODE_IBSS			0x2000000
which can be set in beacon_interval.

AFAICS pre_tbtt should contain only interval, without additional flags.

Do I get it right?

So if I am right, in condition here you should extract interval from
beacon_interval and compare it with pre_tbtt. Extracting from pre_tbtt
should not be needed, as it's plain interval.

Maybe use some local variable like
b_interval = s->beacon_interval & 0xffff
?
