Strange indeed.  It's worth noting that the async stuff affects only
the normal suspend and resume operations, not the late-suspend and
early-resume operations.  This means that it all likelihood, the system
crashes either before finishing the suspend or after doing a fair
amount of the resume.  And yet that's not consistent with what you see
on the screen.

By the way, are you booting with no_console_suspend?  And do you do 
"echo 8 >/proc/sys/kernel/printk" (or equivalently, Alt-SysRq-8) before 
suspending?

What about if you leave async enabled for all the USB devices _except_ 
usb[1-N]?
