I'll try to do some more testing this weekend to see if I can find a better fix.
It would only be used for the Hotspot and not generally for WiFi so I think its prolly ok.
Nice detective work going on here. I wish I had time ATM to do more than drive-by posting
It's not that I disagree with your assessment, Tim, but it still makes me feel cringy to even say "WPA". Needs must, I suppose.
In the case of the Pi3B, at least, an easy workaround which works with an unmodified moOde 9.2.3 is to use an external USB-WiFi adaptor and disable the internal WiFi. It has to be an adaptor which supports AP mode, of course. My old CanaKit adaptor works fine in this application.
ETA: looks like I have to eat crow on this one. It works fine with my Pi 400 as the connecting device. Turns out my Pixel 6a and iPad don't like it at all. Sorry.
