I tried all the ones listed in various combinations:
[root@localhost ~]# pm-suspend --help
pm-action [options]
Options can change how the supend or hibernate is done.
Possible actions are:
--quirk-dpms-on
--quirk-dpms-suspend
--quirk-radeon-off
--quirk-s3-bios
--quirk-s3-mode
--quirk-vbe-post
--quirk-vbemode-restore
--quirk-vbestate-restore
--quirk-vga-mode3
However they all seem related to kicking the gfx back into gear while my
issue is about the harddisk not activating again. Nevertheless I tried
them and it did not make a difference.

Same here :(

I think we need more than luck. Hopefully the regression will get fixed
soon.

That would not be a bad idea. Perhaps bugzilla an RFE?
Thank you for you suggestions.
