If /etc/config/wireless contains:
.....
# option macaddr  xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
....

or if there is no option macaddr entry, here is and example of what I automatically get on the next boot:

config wifi-device  radio0
    option type     mac80211
    option country    US
    option channel  149
    option hwmode    11na
    option htmode    HT40+
    list ht_capab    SHORT-GI-40
    list ht_capab    TX-STBC
    list ht_capab    RX-STBC1
    list ht_capab    DSSS_CCK-40

config wifi-iface
    option device   radio0
    option network  lan
    option mode     ap
    option wds    1
    option ssid     OpenWrt
    option encryption psk+aes
    option key Yadda_Yadda
config wifi-device  radio1
    option type     mac80211
    option channel  36
    option macaddr    00:80:48:70:f3:2d
    option hwmode    11na
    option htmode    HT20
    list ht_capab    SHORT-GI-40
    list ht_capab    TX-STBC
    list ht_capab    RX-STBC1
    list ht_capab    DSSS_CCK-40
    # REMOVE THIS LINE TO ENABLE WIFI:
    option disabled 1

config wifi-iface
    option device   radio1
    option network  lan
    option mode     ap
    option ssid     OpenWrt
    option encryption none

Should I open up a bug ticket?

No, you should provide a valid mac.

The discussion might have continued from here.
