This morning, TI finally replied to me on their forum in regards to this 
ongoing wifi problem.  While I understand the meaning in the message, I 
don't have the skills to know what to do with this information.  Here is 
what they had to say:

I believe we have found the root cause for the BBGW wifi related issues.
Bottom line is that BT_AUD_OUT from wl1835 has to be pulled low when WL_EN 
is activated.
in case it isn't, wilink8 ends up in one of the test modes that introduces 
various issues (elp wakeup timeouts etc.)
On the BBGW this pin is routed through the level shifter (U21) that 
introduces a pullup on the line and wilink8 ends up in a bad state. 
To work around this, I have used a gpio hog to force this pin low. 
An alternative may be adding an external pulldown on U21 pin 4 but this 
would require an ECO.

Please see section 10.4 in the following document:
http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/swru437/swru437.pdf

You can see that AUD_OUT_BT has to be 0 when BT or WLAN enable bit is set 
to high.

BR,
