Since my last reinstall, I have deliberately not installed or used
wifi stuff (i.e. wireless-tools, wpasupplicant and wicd), because it
seemed to be a source of instability in my previous installation. So
wifi cannot be the only cause of the suspend problem.

I saw this too - except with "shutdown -h now" - in my previous
installation, where I was using wifi. But in my current installation,
where I haven't touched wifi, I have never had a problem shutting
down, even when suspend stops working. So it is plausible that using
wifi is the cause of a situation where it is impossible to shutdown
cleanly.
