In STA we are using ath9k (mac80211) driver and in AP we are using propriety driver from atheros Fusion (same flavor as madwifi). it has wds option enabled already. You are right 4 address mode should work with this implementation but as wds is not standard so i think its implementation is different with different drivers. Ca you please confirm if anybody has faced same issue as ours and if yes what have they done to correct it. can you check with this link http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw. Here they have written that 4 address mode is incompatible with WDS.
