Thanks for reporting it.  I haven't looked at your log yet, but my
generic advice is: please attach full "dmesg" output from an affected
boot, which will show what happened at initialization time, and full
"acpidump" output, which will show if some of the ACPI tables for
power-related events do strange things.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
