Sorry to reply so late to post #50, I thought I did it already. mrrusof, my hypotesis is that the Acer developers wrote a driver that ebmeds the workaround, and shipped it with the preinstalled Windows, thus without releasing any subsequent patch.
Another hypotesis is that the BIOS developers tested the suspend/resume only on Windows. Since Windows is not ACPI compliant (otherwise, life for non-Windows users would be much easier), neither is the BIOS. We could ask Acer to release another BIOS version, but wouldn't that break suspend/resume on Windows systems?
