Have you tried booting one of the newer kernel versions from power-off?

I think that the difference is more likely to be in the configuration,
rather than the patches we apply.
Some other people followed up to your bug report suggesting there might
be a BIOS bug affecting behaviour after a warm reboot, but not booting
from power-off:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=843349# 17
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=843349# 32
(Unfortunately I don't see any BIOS updates available for this model.)
