Comment(by Quozl):

 I've tested 20 cycles of lid close suspend and resume on os123 without
 reproducing this fault.

 I've looked carefully at the message log provided by Dan; stripping the
 timestamps and running a visual diff against each S/R cycle.

 Observations:
  * there were no lid wake-ups, which is inconsistent with the problem
 report, and has me confused, (the wake-up sources were ''rtc alarm, ec,
 ec, rtc alarm, rtc alarm, ec, ec, power button, ec, power button, ec,
 power button'')
  * in all but the last resume, any powered down card is powered up and
 requests firmware,
  * the second last resume was woken by EC,
  * the last suspend intended to power down the card,
  * the last resume was woken by power button, and it did not request
 firmware,
  * ''egrep 'wakeup_source|mmc1|libertas' wifi-disappeared.txt'' showed
 that after the last resume the message pattern matches the non-powered
 down case, and the wakeup happened very soon (220ms) after power was
 turned off to mmc1.

 Is there a possibility of electrostatic discharge in that environment?
 (ESD can cause misbehaviour as well as damage).
