9.0.0-alpha.6 is the first release to have both #8590 and #8326, but there seems to be a regression. Under 8.2.8 and 8.2.9 (with 8590, but not with 8326), the code above runs fine. But under 9.0.0-alpha.6, I can't find a sequence that lets me start an AP a second time:

Additional information
Code runs fine on espressif, but note that a delay is needed after start_ap() for ipv4_address_ap to become active.
