Comment(by carrano):

 In fact, iwpriv command gets overriden by wireless operations.

 An "iwlist scan" is an example of such an operation that will revert the
 beacon interval to its default value (1 100).

 Another such example is an association operation (iwconfig eth0 mode
 managed essid test).

 For the attached file (dmesg_output) the beacon was disabled (iwpriv eth0
 bcn_control O). After some seconds a scanning (iwlist scan) was executed,
 overriding the configuration - the beacons returned.
