My memory was faulty earlier, but it is coming back. V3 differs in that txctl1 
(the equivalent of 
tx_bias) is not initialized to 0xFF, but is given a value of 0-3 in 
bcm43xx_default_txctl1. I added 
trace code that checked the value being written to radio register 0x52 and 
dumped the stack when the 
value was still 0xFF. On that basis, I made it look like the code in 
bcm43xx_phy_initg when tx_bias 
is 0xFF.

Would you prefer the equivalent of bcm43xx_default_txctl1? That wouldn't be 
difficult.

Are the txpower adjustment bugs a problem with the specs? Is there anything I 
can do?
