Also, it does seem like you can re-create this at will in ways that others can not. Could you try to bisect it a bit? Right now we have no real clue what it is all about, except that it seems to be related to suspend/resume and there are some indications that it's about networking (and _perhaps_ wireless in particular).

Yes! I'm able to reproduce it 90%! We can exclude X, 80211 and so ath5k too (I removed them from /lib/modules, so they won't ever load).

I set the water mark at 1700 megabytes to allocate by the testing programs, so that it eats almost all free available memory. Then, I wait to "alloced 1" and then pm-suspend on second console. After resume, it spits out the corruption.

I'm going to bisect it, will be back in few hours ;).
