I'm under the impression that this can be a problem even if the networks
connected to previously were infrastructure types?

I've seen this behavior for months.  It's real.

The steps listed in the article (firewall, "Infrastructure Only", etc.)
are
sufficient to nullify this flaw.

Has anyone tested this out? If so, what are you thinking about doing to
prevent it?

I'm trying to see if I can get my test machine to do it--incidentally I
have
noticed two ad-hoc networks these last two days. (One has a (1) appended
to
it--not sure what is adding the one).
