Bert thanks to your keen eye I am maybe making a little progress :)

Javier, thank you, fbset is our friend !!!

Lorenzo, could you check the 1400x1050.cfg file too ?

Now when suspend2iu_fbset executes I get the following behaviour:

1) for just a moment I see the correct background image
2) Text appears with the title and the XXX/YYYMB numbers and the action 
readable (a bit too low)
3) When the text appears the image returns to be a few diagonal bands of 
random pixels.

Same thing at resume.

Thank you for any further help. Additional info follows:

Here is my kernel line in GRUB now:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.13 root=/dev/hda7 ro

and here is what fbset -i yelds:
