You did not provide enough information about your setup, so I am not
sure that my answer would be very helpful ;-(

I do run wpa_supplicant at startup by means of 

ifconfig_ath0="WPA 10.x.x.x netmask x.x.x.x"

in rc.conf

I have the same entries as you at the top of wpa_supplicant.conf and I
am able to use wpa_cli right after boot, which is what I suspect you
refer to when you are talking about control socket being available.

I do load if_ath, wlan_wep and wlan_tkip by means of the loader.conf
entries.

If there are other bits of setup you would like to compare, please, let
me know.
