Quoting once again the operative text from
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi :

  AP mode (experimental; only on some devices/firmware versions

Might have been a different firmware blob.  Might have been a different
revision of the kernel driver.  Either way, AP mode on Intel drivers has
in general had a long history of not working, and working has been the
exception.
