Ok, that looks pretty regular. Another thing I can suggest is to try 
to add a delay (like 'sleep 5') to the start/pre-up branch in the 
/etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh, right after conf_wpa_supplicant line. 
That delay should give the WPA authentication some time to settle 
before the dhclient is invoked to obtain an DHCP lease. Let me know if 
it helps.

Best regards,
