circuitpython: ConnectionError when attempting to connect to a known SSID (6.2.0b1)

wifi.radio.connect() call seems to improperly raise a ConnectionError: No network with that ssid even when the SSID is found by a WiFi scan.

Platform: Adafruit CircuitPython 6.2.0-beta.1 on 2021-01-27; Adafruit MagTag with ESP32S2 Code

import ipaddress

# Get wifi details and more from a secrets.py file
try:
    from secrets import secrets
except ImportError:
    print("WiFi secrets are kept in secrets.py, please add them there!")
    raise

print("ESP32-S2 WebClient Test")

print("My MAC addr:", [hex(i) for i in wifi.radio.mac_address])

print("Available WiFi networks:")
for network in wifi.radio.start_scanning_networks():
    print("\t%s\t\tRSSI: %d\tChannel: %d" % (str(network.ssid, "utf-8"),
            network.rssi, network.channel))
wifi.radio.stop_scanning_networks()

print("Connecting to %s"%secrets["ssid"])
wifi.radio.connect(secrets["ssid"], secrets["password"])
print("Connected to %s!"%secrets["ssid"])
print("My IP address is", wifi.radio.ipv4_address)

Output:
