Is it?  The way I read the doco, the hardware both saves to SAR RAM, and
restores from  SAR RAM.
  Section 22.2.4.1.6  Save and Restore
of my copy of the TRM says:

which strongly suggests that it is all handled by hardware.  Of course there
are other registers that aren't covered  by the SAR - we need to identify
those and make sure they are saved and restored.  I've found a few registers
that aren't being restored, but restoring them hasn't made a visible
difference yet.

Am I missing something?

Is there a list somewhere?

Yes, this is not a problem for my device.  There is a GPIO line which signals
and incoming SMS or Call and it successfully wakes the device.
