It appears as though Linux is still restarting as a "warm boot",

No, it does not. I know that my desktop PC reboots with a beep (and
shows CPU information) from Linux - and it does not beep when rebooting
from Windows 98.
Some BIOSes don't like when some devices are in some state. One example
is my DTK FortisPro TOP-5A notebook - when rebooted from Linux, it hangs
during POST - the fix was to add setpci <someting> to shutdown scripts
to zero-out some cardbus controller registers.
Did you report it to lkml and/or dirver maintainer?
Not yet. I haven't tried any kernel newer than 2.6.8.1 (because of the
monitor mode patch for orinoco wifi card) so I don't know if the problem
is still there.
Also Linux does not like APM on this notebook. But I don't have free
time to play with thing like these...
