The machine is 64-bit capable (Core2 Duo), but the kernels I'm running
for this are 32-bit, so I doubt that the 64-bitability is relevant.
I'd love to see what happens with a 64-bit kernel, but I never get
back from suspend with it (and that's not a recent regression).
Carlos is also seeing this with a 32-bit kernel (on P4 Xeon with HT).

Please don't take my git bisection result too seriously: that's where
it led when I fudged things around enough, and treated blank screens
as manifestations of the problem, which very likely they're not
(there's some other bug which makes it very variable how quickly
I resume). And also, I wasn't checking how many cpus came up each
time: I wouldn't be surprised if at some points in your series only
one would come up, which would then look like a "good" point to me.

Thanks,
Hugh
