I also had (have) a similar problem on Ubuntu 9.04.  However, it also
happens when the SSID is not hidden.  It seems to only happen when the
AP will auto switch between WPA and WPA2.  If I force the AP to pick
one, it works OK. I'm not sure if this is rooted in the same issue.

I'm afraid I haven't done much research into it to see if there are any
previous bug reports. I just changed the setting on the AP and went on
with life...
