To deal with the intereference, and perhaps reduce the impact of the bug, it's a good idea to properly channel space your AP: Channels 1, 6 and 11 are mutually non-interfering so pick the furthest from the other APs in your area to help reduce interference.

Unfortunately the bug you're describing seems to related to the latest AirPort update (3.3.1), possibly an older version. It's roughly coincident with the appearance of those 'trusted network' pop-ups which the new driver provide. I've seen it in my own powerbook, a G4 tower and a 15" using both b and g radios, so it seems to be an OS X software issue.

Best,
Alf

It could be the AirPort card's sensitivity to other 802.11 activity in the area. Even though MacStumbler indicates a strong signal, is this strength of just the one indicated AP's signal? Or a composite of several AP's signals? Who knows?
