For what it is worth (hoping this is the right place to post), the stability issues at least, in general, were solved for me by applying the 'linux-recent.patch' from the broadcom-wl AUR tarball (which seems to include the null point fix as well):

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl/

Steps to apply it are outlined in Andre's gracious bug report (mentioned above):
