I dedicated a large portion of the day to finding a clue to this one. Following 
this advice: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.34.1/Documentation/power/s2ram.txt
I was able to extract a trace from the failed resume process:
Magic number: 0:981:799hash matches drivers/base/power/main.c:523pci 
0000:01:05.0: hash matchesec PNP0C09:00: hash matches

The first hash match is none other than my ATI Radeon card as I easily verified 
with lspci:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 
(PCIE)

However, the above link says that the likely
culprit in the failed resume process is the last hash match. This
corresponds to the EC 
driver: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/ec.c

My card was, till recently, listed under embedded
graphics at the AMD/ATI website. So there appears to be some conflict
when using KMS between radeon and ec that causes the kernel to hang
(that explains why I can't ssh into my computer to get a trace). For
this reason I've cloned the original bug and reported the copy as a
kernel bug.
I will try to delve deeper into the matter by activating more verbose debugging 
symbols for acpi.
I would appreciate some advice and guidance, since I'm flying half-blind (I 
will try to follow the information present 
here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=505890)

Cheers,
Andres
