Great summary! I see *exactly* the symptoms you are describing.

acpiconf -s 4:

The machine goes to a formal-looking text mode warning that there is
no suspend-to-disk partition (which is true);

With a partition created by Dell's make-suspend-partition floppy, I could suspend and resume with save-to-disk on 4.6. (I have since trashed the partition, because I needed its partition table slot.) So there is some hope this might work on -current also.
