The patch below seems to finally cure the problem at my system; I've just
attached it to freedesktop bugzilla, but sending it to this thread as well

Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: read HEAD register back in init_ring_common() to enforce ordering

Withtout this, ring initialization fails reliabily during resume with

[drm:init_ring_common] *ERROR* render ring initialization failed ctl 0001f001 head ffffff8804 tail 00000000 start 000e4000
