AP not RE-starting after initial start and then STA-wifi temporarily available

The problem

When both WIFI SSID aka STA-wifi and AP are defined, the sequence: -reset the device when STA-wifi is not available - AP will start after ap_timeout -make STA wifi available - device connects to STA-wifi and stops AP -make STA wifi unavailable - device starts to scan for wifi. AP is not re-started even after much longer time than ap_timeout.

Since I've not noticed this earlier, I'd suspect that this might be a regression due to recent fast connect related changes, but I'm not able to verify that.
