I see you're using wpasupplicant. Could it be that that one is having a
problem? Maybe it depends on something that is not available yet when
the hotplug interface is brought up.

ifquery --state wl0 should say "wl0=wl0" when ifupdown things the
interface is up, and it should say nothing if it thinks it is down. What
does it say after a cold boot?

Also, can you try commenting the wpa- options out, rebooting, and
checking the output?

That really means ifup was running up to and including configuring
addresses. wpa-supplicant is started from both if-pre-up.d and if-up.d,
so I think the error happens in the post-up phase. Is there anything in
the logs that could tell you what is going on?
