Here is how I get rid of this inconsistency :
in interfaces file I put those stanzas :
iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface default inet dhcp wpa-roam slave
iface home inet static wpa-roam slave address ...
With attached patch, "wpa_action wlan0 stop" is invoked when issuing "ifdown wlan0"
