"# cat /proc/vb" produces :
0 inteldrmfb
So I suppose I do.

# cat /sys/power/state
mem disk

[ system shuts down. ]
[ When restarted (power button), the system exhibits the same behaviour
as initially described, i. e : starts to restore its previous state
(Asus splash, grub splash, "Please wait..."), then reboots again and
does a normal startup (Asus splash, grub splash, normal startup
sequence). ]

Yep. Same identifier (generated at initial install. Do you need it ?)
in /etc/fstab and /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume.

The conjunction of :
- the  fact that a very similar bug (giving the same behaviour) was
mysteriously fixed (see
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-eeepc-devel/2011-February/004032.html
 and following) by an update of grub-pc, linux-image and pm-utils (and an 
upgrade to wheezy, which I already did),
- that I reinstalled and updated grub-pc and pm-utils with no
modification,
- that I checked that linux-image is the last available version, and
- that of the above, pm-utils seems closely related to
hibernation/suspension.

That's my best (uneducated) guess...

Should I try to reinstall linux-image ?

Thank you gain for your time !
