I'm not sure if this might inform your thinking here but today I've just tracked down a similar issue on another Sony Vaio (PCG-SRX51) where S3 STR immediately wakes. I enabled ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE and called acpi_get_event_status() immediately upon resume (before the wake flag is cleared) and iterated each wake event. I discovered that the PM timer event is the reason the system resumes but so far haven't discovered why. I have a tenuous theory it could be related to the kernel timer using the ACPI PM Timer. I tried disabling that with the boot parameter 'nopmtimer' but that didn't help. To test this I'm currently building a kernel that disables the PM Timer wake event during suspend and re-enables it on resume, something the ACPI specification hints at in section 4.7.2.1. I'm not sure if this problem occurs on a wider range of systems than the Sony since at present, without a debug kernel with ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE and specific additional checks, there is no way to know the reason a system resumed. I'm planning on submitting a patch to log the wake event since it would greatly enhance our abilities to diagnose reasons behind these situations if the log showed it without a custom-kernel build.
