Did you do any progress on this?

According to the nl80211.h you are correct of course, every
NL80211_CMD_foo_STATION command should include NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX.

There are two functions in driver_nl80211.c where
NL80211_CMD_GET_STATION is used.

1) nl80211_get_link_signal
It fills NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX in the following way:
NLA_PUT_U32(msg, NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX, drv->ifindex);

2) i802_read_sta_data
It fills NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX in the following way:
NLA_PUT_U32(msg, NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX, if_nametoindex(bss->ifname));

Did you track down which of the above functions in the one sending
wrong NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX?
