Try taking /sys/i386/acpi_wakeup.c back to 1.36.  If that doesn't work, 
try reverting /sys/dev/acpica/acpi.c back to 2004/8/1 (mentioned 
previously).  It is important to isolate the cause.

I'm working on the cmbat resume part for you.  The reason why this is 
not an easy problem to debug is that different systems have different 
AML and that AML is run by various methods, including cmbat.  If it does 
weird things like writing to various runtime registers or acquiring 
mutexes, it can cause failures independent of our code.  My laptop 
suspends/resumes fine with -current, including hotplugging the 
batteries, etc.
