Okay, after a second restart ath5k was functional again (though with the same problems as above). I then installed madwifi from svn snapshot and blacklisted ath5k, and my wireless experience is much better! Much faster speeds, no CPU spikes, et cetera. However this bug is probably still good to solve since ath5k is the future anyway, as I understand it.
