If you set pm-utils for debug, it won't log to syslog. There is a
specific trace file in /var/log. Perhaps it is intended that syslog can
be one of the services stopped before suspend ?? Outside of debug mode,
I don't believe pm-utils write anything.

One thing I know: I use syslog when I commit my server to sleep. Upon
sleep, the very last steps of the trace are not actually written to the
log. They are, with the correct date and all, upon wake-up. I suspect
the kernel locks IOs when sleeping the devices, or the processing delay
within syslog itself is too high.

So I suggest writing an info message before launching sleep if this is
needed. I guess this is already done when srvPowerControl is set for
debug logging.
I believe the "logger" command provides a standard (here I've got it on
debian linux & macs) and easy way to write to syslog, if you want to add
trace to a wrapper script.
