Thank's again.
Since you've shown it can work in 4.1, it is likely the case it will work in 4.3 as well... so I personally wouldn't recommend purchasing another card. In fact, you may run into similar problems with the new card. The whole thing about growing as an OBSD user/admin is that you take problems like this and "eat them for breakfast." So if you don't mind, let's troubleshoot a bit more, shall we?

I wonder if there are some media options that you need to set that were not previously needed to be specified for your card in 4.1. "ifconfig -m ath0" (the lowercase "m") will show the available media options for your card... perhaps you have to set or disable one or more of these options in order for the scan to properly work, and see your AP...

... but if you're happy with getting another card, I will bug you on this no further. Good luck.
