If I knew exactly what could be wrong with the ath9k driver I would
fix it right away :)
I think the first step is to confirm the assumption that beaconing in
mesh mode is broken.
Just try to start an open mesh and observe with a sniffer if you see
beacons coming from that interface:

iw phy $phy interface add mesh0 type mesh
ifconfig mesh0 up
iw dev mesh0 mesh join testfoo
<beaconing should have started by now>

If you don't, you should look into the part of the driver that enables
beaconing:  ath_beacon_config() and so on.
Did you ask in ath9k-devel?  If basic mesh functionality is broken,
they should be able to help.  Specially if there is a very easy test
like the one described above.  This is unrelated to the new security
features.  And as you've seen, it work on ath5k (hint: telling the
ath9k guys that something works on ath5k is a very good way to get
their attention };)
