After almost 100 hibernate/resume cycles, I have to say that this issue
can't be reproduced by suspending in a tight loop.  I tried that while
flood pinging my gateway and also with no network activity.  The rc8
e100 module was loaded all the time.

It can't be seen from the "sleep 1; s2disk" command, so it's probably an
artifact from X, when s2disk starts before Enter is released.
