Mmm.. interesting choice, there.  I'll try that.

There is another quirk on this machine that might confuse
software that's not robust:  the internal Bluetooth adapter
is USB connected, and I normally have it disabled (BIOS hotkey).
So it normally is "not present".

But on any power-on / resume, it briefly powers up and becomes "present",
and, after a second or two, the BIOS powers it down again, "not present".

Just long enough for software to notice it and try talking to it.
If that software is not carefully coded, it might get confused.

This has not been a problem before, but perhaps with the new USB autosuspend code?

Okay, and once we see that it works fine:  then what?
