Did you test with 4.x?
It seems harder on newer stuff.

This looks fine.
"ahr"
(my BSSID)
(my IP address)
(my subnet)

(my DNS, 8.8.8.8)
(olsrd.conf path)

Then, the wifi info:
SSID: null
BSSID: null
ip: 0.0.0.0
MAC: (ok)
speed 0 Mbps
RSSI: -200dBm
(last two for last node? entries for all neighbors?)

Or joining the network failed. It sends beacons with something that looks OK. Maybe if stayed down, because there is no peer station.
I'll test more, with focus on the beacon and probe messages. It looks like wrong formatted and ignored by my other nodes. 

Can I assume you tested with phones and OpenWRT boxes?

I used cut&paste.
I have a numeric keyboard, with greyed alfa (ABC on 2, DEF on 3, etc).
I can use some special characters, for dailing.
