Ah.  No, I spoke to soon.  It happened on the second resume the first
two times I tried it.  But this third time with DEBUG enabled, it
happened on the first suspend/resume.

And it doesn't happen on all subsequent resumes either.  I've had one
suspend/resume without the error, just after a suspend/resume with the
error.

So it's not deterministic, but it is easy to reproduce.
