That sounds like exactly the sort of situation that ifplugd's -d and -u
options are intended to resolve.  Increase the value of -d to prevent
ifplugd seeing wpa_supplicant drop the link-beat, or increase the value of
-u to prevent ifplugd trying to bring the connection up until
wpa_supplicant is finished.  Alternatively, you might need to turn off
ifplugd for the wireless interface, and use waproamd - but I haven't
experimented with waproamd, so I'm not sure it's better.
