You need to specify the value in decimal notation (i.e. 3 in your case).
From the hostapd [1]README:

# This field is a bit field that can be used to enable WPA (IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)
# and/or WPA2 (full IEEE 802.11i/RSN):
# bit0 = WPA
# bit1 = IEEE 802.11i/RSN (WPA2)

I'm running hostapd on a NetBSD/i386 4.0_STABLE system with wpa=2
(i.e.  WPA2 only) without any problems.  (Ok, [2]not really, but
most of the time.)
