 Replying to [comment:27 self]:
 > If this is all we need to meet this requirement, I will confirm that
 forwarding is indeed disabled.

 Went ahead and confirmed that this is still working in the firmware
 release (5.110.22.p18) that ships with joyride-2356.  After the mesh
 interface is turned off via sysfs, the wireless module:

  1. stops beaconing
  2. stops responding to probe requests
  3. stops responding to path requests
  4. stops forwarding traffic

 In other words, the mesh is completely turned off.
