When the wireless is working:
$ lspci -d 14e4:4312 -x

Sorry for the long time to reply, it took a while to recreate the problem. 
According to the logs, it happened exactly when I checked the machine in the 
morning.
At the beginning, the register dumps look like this:

[   57.279984] ****** b43: B43_MMIO_MACCTL 0x840A0503
[   57.279992] ****** b43: SSB_TMSLOW 0x20150000
(these line repeat exactly the same. Skipping)

And from now on, all reads are ones. I have the full logs if you need.
