| everything works. It suspends and resumes at will with swap running.
| Shutdown or mash the power button, partition table is fine..."

What is the swap situation on the image you are running?  I noticed
Debian was doing something about it on initscripts, but I didn't notice
before that we run swap on ASU?

If as I believe this is very sensitive to a race, then not syncing swap
can change the behaviour miles away from the swap itself and change the
symptom, as could a bunch of other stuff.
