I did some experimentation and discovered that the problem, although
appearing to be driver-based was actually being driven by
wpa_supplicant.  I'm not sure exactly why the problem was occuring,
but apparently having a wpa_supplicant.conf file present while using
network-manager (NetworkManager) can result in the periodic bizaar
disconnect/reconnect loop problem I was experiencing.

I'm hoping that the fix is not temporary, but I'll keep an eye on it
and report any changes to the list.  I suspect if others are having
good success with their broadcom 4306 in their powerbooks with the b43
driver in 2.6.24.x, that my problems were of my own making
(network-manager and wpa_supplicant).
