Updated the BIOS as you suggested. From the terminal:

allanc@wyvern:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s 
bios-release-date
A06
12/05/2013
allanc@wyvern:~$ uname -a
Linux wyvern 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic #201312061335 SMP Fri Dec 6 18:37:23 UTC 
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And looking at the logs after a while:

I'm using the latest kernel (as suggested in comment 3) and the
resetafter parameter (as suggested in comment 5). I find it difficult to
recreate on demand. I managed to see those errors within half an hour of
resuming the laptop from suspend. I didn't see any such messages in the
log while I was testing prior to putting it on standby, and I haven't
seen any messages a while after resuming. I'll test with it more.
