If I understand this right (but I may be wrong), then in WPA2 management frames protection is optional and is only used if both AP and station support it (which is thus enabled per station and not globally on AP). Since station has a say in this, I call it "station preference".But I don't really understand what you mean by 'station preference'...
As it's frequently true with many optional things, some devices burp on things they don't expect ... and AP saying it supports management frame protection by setting certain bit in capabilities list whereas station expects that bit unset is something that can upset such a device.
