Some more information that may be helpful:

* The 64 bit version of 12.04.1 does actually have some preliminary
support for EFI, enough to boot from a USB stick.  When I do boot this I
can suspend and resume many times without trouble.  Recall that the 32
bit version of 12.04.1 has no support for EFI (it appears) so I could
not boot it at all with my BIOS set to EFI mode, which I must do to be
able to dualboot Windows 8 on the other partition.

* Therefore the problem I am having with 12.10 only being able to
suspend/resume once is very likely not related to 64 bit vs. 32 bit
issues since now I know that 64 bit 12.04.1 booted in EFI mode from a
USB key can suspend/resume many times just fine.  Nor is the
suspend/resume problem likely related to EFI vs CSM (old BIOS
compatibility) issues, for the same reason.  My understanding is that
EFI replaces lots of old BIOS functionality, so it seemed to be a
potentially likely source of suspend-resume issues, but that appears not
to be the case.

* I would gladly just downgrade and install the the 64 bit version of
12.04.1 on the hard disk since it supports EFI and is able to
suspend/resume multiple times, BUT even though it is able to boot EFI
off the USB stick, it is sadly apparently not able to create a proper
EFI boot on the hard disk (as 12.10 can).  Sigh.
