Hmmm...unless you think the dhclient setup is usefully customized, you
might try the easy fix (after backing up /etc):

sudo aptitude reinstall dhcp3-client
sudo aptitude reinstall wpasupplicant

which might resolve the problem, if it is being caused by a missing hook
script.

A quick browse suggests that /etc/network/if-up.d/wpasupplicant gets
called - probably on a pre-up event. It does it's thing, then does an
ifup. It then looks like Network Manager plays a role in triggering
dhclient, so you should probably review settings in there too.
