OBI202 backup SSID

I have been successfully using an OBI202 with Wifi dongle for the last several days.
Call setup and clarity have been fine.  As a test, I configured Access Point 2 with an
SSID value different from the Access Point 1 value (neither has a password).
PreferredAccessPoint was not configured.
I then replaced the physical access point to which the OBi had connected.
The OBi failed to connect to the replacement access point; it was necessary to power cycle OBi,
at which point the OBi did in fact connect (I waited about 5 minutes).

Can anyone confirm this behavior?  Seems like the preferred behavior would be detection of
connection loss on an initial SSID, and/or shorter timer (or settable timer) for trying a second SSID.
