I just checked, and this workaround is next to useless. If I suspend,
move the laptop and resume with networkmanager_sleep=false, it simply
never discovers the move. As it insists on showing me the old list of ESSIDs,
I can either wait a few minutes (which is _way_ too long to be useful), or
simply restart network-manager, at which point we're back where we started.
Thus, I'm re-upgrading the severity.

I still contend that n-m should not disable an interface just because it
happens not to be ready on resume from sleep, especially given that I've now
mentioned three distinct network cards exhibiting the same behavior in this
thread.
