You have a signal strength issue. For any version of the bcm43xx devices, maximum performance is obtained only by downloading and installing the appropriate patch from ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches for any kernel through 2.6.21-rc7. It is expected that 2.6.22-rc1 (when it is released) will have all current improvements installed. Once the signal strength is fixed by the patch, WPA is fully stable. My 4311 has the same PHY and radio version as your 4312, and it works with WPA-PSK TKIP without any problems.
