Seems like there was an error handling miss somewhere - for some
reason, it did suspend properly.

Agreed.

I tried a equivalent of this for v3.12 tag:

And I see http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3528478
with a WARN patch for generating call stack.
Finally squelched warnings with a net diff (v3.12) of
http://pastebin.mozilla.org/3546062
However, ondemand is no longer functioning on resume (governor needs a
start after being unfrozen.. and obviously by avoiding that entirely
in frozen case.. not sure if I missed any other)..
