Background scanning is a normal WiFi feature, you don't break association state when doing this. It is required for regular and fast roaming.
Also it must be notifying userland it happened because location services is trying to gather that info.
Most WiFi clients enable background scanning when signal strength is below some threshold, so you would never notice latency spikes unless connection is already poor.
interesting. so they just switch it on even when the signal is strong.
