I've finally gotten around to upgrading my kernel, and the immediate
resume problem also exists in kernel 2.6.3. I've tracked down the problem
to the line
w83781d_write_value(client, W83781D_REG_IRQ, 0x41);
in the file w83781d.c, introduced in lm_sensors 2.6.4; with this line
commented out, suspend works fine again.
