Antonio is the real expert on the AP isolation but judging your debug output
I'd say the AP isolation has nothing to do with your problem. Also, the
disable/enable action seems to point into the same direction.

The AP isolation only drops packets from wireless clients. You should see a
"W" in the flags section of the "batctl tg" dump:
02:69:fe:45:a3:cf ( 1) via ae:86:74:01:b4:94 ( 2) [...]
Try connecting with a wireless device and you will see it. Unless we have a
bug the traffic from the linux firewall should not be dropped (I see no W).

You could get packet dumps to find out where the pings are dropped. Maybe that
brings us closer to understanding what is going on.
