We've been playing with the idea of a mobile 802.11s mesh for a while, since we have a mesh through out an entire community we would like to be able to use it for voice, etc. The problem is that when a node moves through the network it leaves remnant of itself throughout the network. I.e. nodes will attempt to use the mobile node if it happened to result in the best path to a given destination at some point in time. We found that the timeouts for path eliminations even when we reduced the timeouts were not responding to the changes fast enough.
You should scan through the devel-archive for information regarding dot11MeshForwarding with is a feature that was added a while back, to eliminate the mobile node becoming a valid forwarding path, i.e. not adjusting the mesh topology when it moves throughout the mesh network. As for mobile power management I don't know how much work has been put into this at this point, but it has been brought up a few times.
