I'm kinda curious about that myself :-) My current understanding
is that Vsys shouldn't drop merely as a consequence of going into
Standby, and that power that is cut in Standby is cut at the
regulators. (Otherwise, STBYCTLx != 0 wouldn't be possible.)

That's a different scenario. The one that's causing these problems
is:

- charger disabled
- (sufficient) USB power
- no or weak battery (still have to determine what is "too weak")

The system can stay in this state indefinitely. But as soon as I
enable the charger, it dies quickly (within tens of milliseconds
if not faster).

So what I'll do is to look at Vsys directly (wish we had it on a
test pad), and to capture the timing with more accuracy (i.e.,
oscilloscope, not multimeter).
