Thanks, Erik! I suspected that might be the case, but couldn't verify it. If so, then that's good enough for my purposes.

In shared-key mode WEP there is a test to see if the other party possesses the same key, but that is insecure as it leaks key information. WPA and WPA2 both perform a handshake to verify possession of the key and to derive/distribute the PTK/GTK.
