MAC filter bug?

Broken Hope

I don't know if it's a bug with Merlin's firmware or a bug with ASUS's firmware but if I set my router to reject the MAC addresses of my Apple equipment on the 2.4GHz channel after a minute or two it also prevents that same equipment from connecting to the 5GHz channel too, despite there not being any MAC filtering enabled on the 5GHz channel.

Is there another MAC Address for the 5ghz radio on your Apple device?
 
It sure looks like per band filtering to me.
