Interestingly, if I use s2disk (which I hadn't previously tried), my machine
snapshots, halts, and then, on boot, does a full normal boot (instead of
resuming). I re-ran 'update-initramfs -u' and 'lilo' and tried again, just to
be sure, but that didn't help. So neither s2ram nor s2disk seem to work.

"Never write it in C if you can do it in 'awk';
 Never do it in 'awk' if 'sed' can handle it;
 Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job;
 Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient;
 Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
