OK. This is a known issue and we have plans to fix it before Tails
3.0 final is released:

Wow, never seen that. It would be interesting to see if this affects
Debian Stretch (currently called "Debian testing") outside of Tails.
Now, to be honest: this seems cosmetic only to me, so I think we'll
prioritize our limited resources on other issues.

(Off-topic: installing the firmware-brcm80211 package should solve
this problem, at least on recent Ubuntu and Debian.)
