Yes, it is.  This is what Win95 does as well, and because of lots of
weird problems (not the least of which being certain cards that don't restore
their settings when resumed), suspend/resume requires that we 'emulate'
a removal and re-insertion.

The above is related to a bug in pccardd that doesn't properly 'free'
resources, or recognize that the card being 're-inserted' is the same
one that it knew about before. :(
