You're comparing a one-time scan ("iwlist scan") with continuous 
scanning that actually makes wpa_supplicant (and by extension 
NetworkManager) useful to its users.

Out of curiosity, what driver is this, anyway?

You can also use wpa_cli to while it's trying to associate to see any 
wpa_supplicant messages that are not properly erroring out NetworkManager.
