It appears to be a bug. I've seen it twice so far. Once in a while one of my satellites will start broadcasting the unsecured guest network. Rebooting the offending satellite resolves the issue. When it first happened, I connected to the guest SSID and there was no IP address given to my computer, and no access to the LAN, so I'm not too worried about it myself. Seems like it could be a startup problem with the satellite configuration after a power outage.
