The behaviour is correct: OGMs are broadcast packets. In infrastructure mode, whatever broadcast packet a station sends gets to the AP which will re-broadcast it again. In this way every station gets it and from the batman-adv point of view it is like the packet was received directly from the other sta (the MAC addresses in the packet say so). Therefore you must enable ap-isolation in hostapd if you want batman-adv to behave as you expect.
I'd like to stress the point that batman-adv is not "confused" as you describe it in your blog post. Antonio explained it already: In infrastructure mode all station _are_ neighbors.
Yes, I understand that, thus the use of quotes, but i'll try to find more appropriate wording; it's the human administrator watching originator tables that actually gets confused ;)
