The problem is the line:
Apr 4 13:40:36 g NetworkManager: <info> SUP: sending command 'INTERFACE_ADD 
wlan0^I^Iwext^I/var/run/wpa_supplicant0^I'

you _need_ to tell wpa_supplicant to use hostap, not wext.

Sadly, ubuntu had a patch for this, but it has been dropped:

+  * drop driver specific tweaks assuming that wext should be fine for most  
drivers nowadays
+    - drop debian/patches/14-j-hostap-supplicant-driver.patch
...

Getting the old diff from:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/net/network-manager
and apply the wpa_driver bit fixes the problem.  Diff attached. I should say 
that this has only been tested on a _Debian_ desktop running 2.6.25.
