I tested several combinations. Results follows :
3.2.6 (base) + CONFIG_PM unset => BAD
3.2.6 (base) + CONFIG_PM=y => BAD
3.2.6 (base) + patch reverted + CONFIG_PM=y => BAD
3.2.6 (base) + patch reverted + CONFIG_PM unset => GOOD

So if I understand right, the targeted patch introduced the bug when
CONFIG_PM is unset, but there is an other bug when this var is set.
I'll try to track this commit.
