It's worse than that.  I reconnected to the AP (it appeared to work
for a few seconds) and I saw:

Wiphy phy0
[...]
	Band 2:
		Capabilities: 0x872
			HT20/HT40
			Static SM Power Save
			RX Greenfield
			RX HT20 SGI
			RX HT40 SGI
			No RX STBC
			Max AMSDU length: 3839 bytes
			No DSSS/CCK HT40
		Maximum RX AMPDU length 65535 bytes (exponent: 0x003)
		Minimum RX AMPDU time spacing: 4 usec (0x05)
		HT TX/RX MCS rate indexes supported: 0-23, 32
		Frequencies:
			* 5180 MHz [36] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
			* 5200 MHz [40] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
			* 5220 MHz [44] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
			* 5240 MHz [48] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS)
			* 5260 MHz [52] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5280 MHz [56] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)
			* 5300 MHz [60] (15.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS, radar detection)

			* 5805 MHz [161] (disabled)
			* 5825 MHz [165] (disabled)

Which is absurd, because:

Connected to 00:02:6f:6e:d7:6c (on wlan0)
	SSID: FFTT5
	freq: 5785        [!!!!!!!!!!!]
	RX: 72058 bytes (310 packets)
	TX: 2568 bytes (20 packets)
	signal: -33 dBm
	tx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s

The connection died after a little while, presumably because the AP
was outside of its own allowed band.
