Your post is exemplary in providing complete and relevant details. My
guess as to why you're not getting a response is that suspend/resume
issues currently have no champion amongst FreeBSD developers, and
therefore they are simply not being addressed. This is disappointing,
but part of life in a volunteer project.

The first and only suggestion I have is to upgrade to 6.2 now that
it's out, but that's just to make doubly sure your issue hasn't been
solved (which is likely). Beyond that, carefully combing the archives
of the -mobile, -stable, and -current lists for similar issues might
lead to some things for you to try.
