Virtual stations work just fine for me, though I don't use that '4addr' thing.
...maybe sniff your wlan1 and see if it is sending
out proper DHCP requests (and they are being received by the AP)?

You have to create a new supplicant config for each virtual station,
or run a unique supplicant instance for each station.

To do any useful traffic, between stations, you will have to be careful
about setting up routing rules and use special binding commands for your
traffic types.
