Why manual copying? Running fw_update(1) was not an option?

While you're associated with the zyd device and use the wifi from another machine in parallel, do the three tcpdump commands show broadcast frames from other machines? What does 'netstat -W zyd0' show after trying to connect with the zyd device for a while? Any unexpected dropped packets/errors in there? It's possible that you're running into some bug in the zyd driver, of course. Perhaps the firmware we ship for zyd is buggy. Since I have no zyd device to test with I'm as much in the dark as you.
