I know of no issue with iwi and tkip.  Can you verify this is not
ap-related?  (e.g. swap ap's, check for firmware updates, etc.).
Otherwise try to correlate the event with things like the re-keying
intervals (GTK and PTK).  An event log from wpa_supplicant and possible
the net80211 layer might help understand what's going on.  Feel free to
send this info directly to me.
