I don't think so, the adapter will have been already suspended.

Hmm.  I guess you can boot with no_console_suspend in the kernel command line
and use the video console to get some debug info.  At this point we would like
to know where exactly it hangs, so you'd need to enable AML tracing in the
kernel and basically see what's printed last. :-)

Two more questions:
(1) Does the failing machine power off correctly with the kernel that fails to
    suspend?
(2) Is the failing suspend behavior reproducible if you run
    "echo disk > /sys/power/state" instead of "pm-suspend" in the platform test?
