To explicitly answer your new requests to the best of my ability:

+ Is this a regression?
+ Does this occur with other wireless access points?

I don't know.  I never into it before AFAIR.  But the situation is
obviously special and occurs only where a roaming setup of several AP
with the same ESSID is deployed.  Furthermore, it's safe to assume that
an airport such as HKG is wifi-busy.  The problem might not occur in
other, less congested environments.  I have never experienced the
problem since and connected fine to a few wifi networks (but in less
congested areas and without a roaming setup as far as I am aware of).

+ Does this problem occur in mainline?

untested at the moment, still pending as tagged

+ Does the access point in Hong Kong have some firmware bug or access
policy that does not permit Ubuntu/Linux clients?

I think we should assume no. I was able to surf for several minutes at a
time.

+ What is the manufacturer and model of the access point?

that's a silly question.  I don't know.  I'm not going to contact the
airport and ask them.  There *IS* a limit to what I will do to help bug
triage.
