Well done. I've been seeing the same thing here. FYI, here is typical
/proc/net/wireless and iwconfig's interpretation from cisco cards:

        * wireless-applet.c: (wireless_applet_read_device_state): handle 2
        wireless cards correctly, as well as cards with 2 interfaces such as
        some Cisco cards (Closes: #139336)

Fixed in HEAD.
