Do you really think that lime-mode-ap makes a difference? I think we are talking about very few bytes involved, so I don't think it is worth to split the packets to this point.

Sure that is not a problem of saving bytes!
It's just because in some situations you don't need/want also an ap on the device.
For example on some hardware having both ap and adhoc interfaces on the same radio is not going to work (am I right?), so, depending on the use case you may want to have just the ap or the adhoc (or the ieee80211s) interface there.
Does it make sense?
