There is absolutely nothing that vgabios may attempt to do that is illegal on resume and may cause this kind of hang. The only thing that is illegal on resume is to use non reserved RAM, but this will cause OS to fail after resume, not vgabios to hang.
On an S3 resume, the bios isn't required to init hardware - in particular, the current seabios resume code doesn't initialize PCI or initialize the standard timer. It's not clear to me that the VGA BIOS will run properly if these services aren't setup.
The vga bios tries to find the vga memory bar in pci config space (for VBE, both bochs+cirrus, using pcibios). Will that work?
