I don't know if it is a chip glitch, but I can confirm the observation. I have a 
dataset of 2.05 billion frames received with AR9280 cards in monitor mode. I 
used ath9k from OpenWRT 12.09 (kernel 3.3.8).

Out of these frames, about 2% do not carry signal/noise information. Also, for 
about 0.4% of all frames a signal level of 0dBm or above is reported, which is 
unlikely to be correct.

Best regards
Till
