Ok, I've narrowed it down a little bit -- It's not caused by any of the fixes that went into 3.10.[1-5]. It doesn't seem to be specific to any particular storage bus, controller, disk, or even cache set -- the same bcache'd usb stick will crash my laptop and not crash my test box. The 4k/512b sector thing was a red herring; you can ignore that.
The test box is a boring old Core2 box; the laptop is an Ivy Bridge. I'll try to enable more verbose PM debugging to see if I can determine what exactly's going on at sleep time.
