I am seeing this same problem on a late 2013 retina macbook pro (11,1)
running Debian (jessie/sid) with Linux 3.14.13-2 (same BCM4360 chipset).
I am using the Broadcom driver from the Ubuntu repos, bcmwl-kernel-
source 6.30.223.141+b

I do not see any different behaviour between 5GHz or 2.4GHz. Tried both
on different APs. Maybe the title should be changed.

I also ruled out intereference, the driver reports a steady signal level
and link quality values when this happens, plus other stations in the
network work perfectly fine, including other identical Macbook Pros
running OSX.

As James pointed out, reloading the driver solves the problem, until it
occurs again.

As a side note, I also tried the Windows XP Drivers under ndiswrapper
(bcmwl5 version 6.30.223.228 obtained from the ASUS PCE-AC68 driver
setup) and it behaves in a surprisingly similar fashion. From 0 to 100
packet lost at random.
