Thanks for you report. Before we proceed with anything else, could you
please fix a typo in /etc/wpa_supplicant/functions.sh:

if ! /sbin/ifquery "${WPA_LOGICAL_IFACE}" > /dev/null 2/&1; then

should be

if ! /sbin/ifquery "${WPA_LOGICAL_IFACE}" > /dev/null 2>&1; then

Please let me know if that fixes the issue for you. If not, we'll look
into other things which could go wrong.
