I translate in interfaces all the otions which are declared in the conf 
file:

iface wlan0-MyEssid inet dhcp
test wireless essid MyEssid
pre-up \
    echo "Starting pre-Up"
    wpa-driver ndiswrapper
    wpa-ssid MyEssid
    wpa-ap_scan 2
    wpa-proto WPA2
    wpa-key_mgmt WPA-PSK
    wpa-pairwise CCMP TKIP
    wpa-psk d4dae65328d14eff2adc68fde7d202d96de5fc1d9f2cd7425e00238f91b743ff
    wpa-eapol_version 1
    wpa-fast_reauth 1

If you carefully read the errors, they are from the script when the 
stanzas of /etc/network/interfaces are converted in actions for wpa_cli 
like:

                # global settings
                if [ -n "$IF_WPA_EAPOL_VERSION" ]; then

                        if [ "$VERBOSITY" = "1" ]; then
                                echo -n "$WPA_SUP_PNAME: 
wpa-eapol-version : "            #message is shown
                        fi

                        $WPA_CLI_BIN  -p $WPA_COMMON_CTRL_IFACE -i $IFACE \
                                eapol_version "$IF_WPA_EAPOL_VERSION" 
 >$TO_NULL   #this causes the failure
                fi
