While this might be true:

That user's device is still going to send that UDP packet to the new AP and end up on our server no?

It won't be sending UDP directly. See, for example below, for diagrams and how it the user's device must use EAPOL, not UDP, to send and receive authentication messages.

I was just thinking about WLAN gear that does not enforce port control correctly. Most likely these kinds of legimate devices would be malfunctioning if they pass through messages that do not follow the expected authentication sequence.

Also, it doesn't have to beĀ  a rogue AP does it, it could be someone else's legitimate AP that just happens to be near one of our APs.

I'd still say that correctly functioning APs would not pass any EAP messages through but would force the end user to start with EAPOL/EAP-Request/Identity. However, I'm not that familiar ways various devices work to say exactly what's possible.

Thanks,
