This is the behavior I saw when I upgraded my wireless-tools but not my 
kernel.

You must use old wireless-tools (b8).  New ones will NOT work (for the 
same reason old ones don't work with new kernels).  Then you must 
rebuild NM against the OLD wireless tools.  If you've done that (I get 
the impression you are using b9), then sure file a bug I guess.
