Scanning MAC randomization with proper firmware/driver support to avoid non-MAC identifiers is coming in Android O for Qualcomm WiFi on the 5X and Pixels: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/04/changes-to-device-identifiers-in.html.

This is the WiFi driver used on the Nexus 5X, Pixel and Pixel XL. In the past, Nexus devices all used Broadcom WiFi where MAC randomization worked properly. Nexus 6P and Nexus 9 use Broadcom.
Full MAC randomization completely breaks WiFi authentication and had to be disabled.
Scanning MAC randomization mostly works, but it occasionally triggers the same symptom, apparently during sleep - but not always. It has also been disabled.
