I think this is actually the right guess.
The working capture you sent me has the EAPOL 2/4 in a 4-addr frame:
ToDS=1, FromDS=1
A1/RA = AP
A2/TA = STA
A3/DA = AP
A4/SA = STA
The non-working capture has the EAPOL 2/4 in 3-addr format, as you'd
expect in the Linux 4-addr AP/STA case:
ToDS=1, FromDS=0
A1/RA = AP
A2/TA,SA = STA
A3/DA = AP
Since it's basically ignoring the message 2 (it just says "handshake
timed out" later) it's almost certainly expecting *only* the 4-addr
format.
As a hack, you could do

in mac80211, then it should send 4-addr frames even for EAPOL.
