I'm pretty sure you were right in your initial question. By all accounts though the wireless client in Windoze is not that clever: I beleive it switches to AP that it's getting the strongest signal from at a particular moment in time (rather than, for example, switching to the AP that has given the strongest average signal over a period of time). Therefore it tends to switch more than is either necessary or efficient and is prone to getting it's knickers in a twist while roaming between APs. That's a technical term by the way...
