Well, if this is due to a defective BIOS, then not much can be done;
there certainly isn't much point in releasing new BIOS versions for
3-year-old systems. I posted mainly because it might indicate a Linux
ACPI implementation bug that could be fixed.
Hopefully in future BIOS makers will try boot/suspend/resume tests with
Linux before shipping :-)
Thanks to you all.
