Consider the case of multiple virtual IBSS interfaces trying to join the same IBSS.
Well, consider the case that you want to route between two *different* IBSS networks with a single NIC. This=20 could be really useful and those a nice feature to have. -- =20

Yes, but consider the case where it all breaks because you associate to the same IBSS. IMHO correctness is more important than "nice features". It would be possible to fix the issue, by keeping track of the beaconing etc. in software and having the two IBSS interfaces see each other via software since they can't in hardware, but I'm not interested in expending that effort right now.
