Forward-secrecy is not about doing or not doing DHE/ECDHE those
are just means to an end.  Forward-secrecy is about retaining
confidentiality of past traffic even when long-term secrets (for
TLS server private keys) are later disclosed.

With that in mind, resumption without DHE/ECDHE has the same
forward-secrecy as the original session.  The session master secret
is not a "long-term" secret.

Perhaps I am missing something, but I see no reason for the offered
ciphersuites to change.
