Thank you very much for your reply!
Attached you'll find a zip file with the two edited dmesg logs of 
plain vanilla kernel runs.

I have to add, that the resumes _do_ succeed in both cases, only 
the serial mouse doesn't get activated after hibernate in 3.12.x 
automatically. Just scan for and compare the lines indicating 
"serial 00:08: disabled" or "serial 00:08: activated". In 3.12.x 
the activation doesn't happen after hibernate, but after 
suspend-to-ram (sleep). That only after STR and not before a 
setserial gets my mouse back... a miracle. ;-)

Best regards, and, please, tell me if you need more information,
