Ah, maybe the confusion here is that multi_channel is a per-package
setting; it determines what a package does with its own channels.

So you have package 0 with multi-channel enabled so it enables channels 0
& 1.
Then you have package 1 without multi-channel so it enables only channel
0.
There is still only one Tx channel (package 0, channel 0).

Does that sound right, or have I missed something?

Well that's not good :)
The deselect package command should only be sent once all channels on a
package have become inactive, so I wouldn't expect it to interfere with
ncsi_reset_dev(), but perhaps this gets combined with the issues sending
netlink commands close together. I'll investigate, if I'm lucky this will
be resolved with the same fixes.
