Actually that wasn't the issue.  After several iterations (which took
some time) I found out that I can't reproduce the hangs which I were
able to trigger trivially just yesterday.  I can only guess these hangs
were due to some other software components (gnome, X stuff, whatever)
which happened to be upgraded today too, together with the kernel, and
the problem went away.  I booted into kernel with which the system
definitely had the issue at hand (3.1.3), but it resumes from suspend
(both s2ram and s2disk) without any issue whatsoever, I did several
resumes of each kind in a row, intermixed them together.

So it looks like not all systems suffer from this issue...

Please excuse me for the noize -- it really looked like the kernel
broke.
