I don't think it's a mesh specific thing, broadcast frames are just
not being sent out as QoS data in the infrastructure case and
therefore not caught by the de-aggregation code. According to 7.2.2,
broadcast and multicast data frames should go out as QoS if all STAs
in the BSS are QoS STAs. I don't know if this really matters in
practice though.
